dividends
Michael Pollak just sent me this, one of his old sig lines, back when
he did sig lines:
“Some one has observed that Providence is always on the side of the
big dividends,” remarked Reginald.The Duchess ate her anchovy in a shocked manner, she was
sufficiently old-fashioned to dislike irreverence towards dividends.
