A Poor Relation?is the most irrelevant thing in nature, ?a piece of impertinent correspondency, ? an odious approximation, ?a haunting conscience, ?a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noontide of our prosperity, ?an unwelcome remembrancer, ?a perpetually recurring mortification, ? a drain on your purse, ?a more intolerable dun upon your pride, ?a drawback upon success, ?a rebuke to your rising, ?a stain in your blood, ?a blot on your 'scutcheon, ?a rent in your garment, ?a death's head at your banquet, ?Agathocles' pot, ?a Mor- decai in your gate, ?a Lazarus at your door, ?a lion in your path, ?a frog in your chamber, ?a fly in your ointment, ?a mote in your eye, ?a triumph to your enemy, an apology to your friends, ?the one thing not needful, ?the hail in harvest, ?the ounce of sour in a pound of sweet.
