Well, you see, this American, Ezekiel Hopkins, was a millionaire, always getting ribbed when he was a lad for his red hair.
So he had a sort of sympathy for red-headed men all his life.
And when he died, his fortune went into the hands of trustees with instructions to use it, giving easy jobs to red-haired men.
It's astonishing.
What's even better?
Old Hopkins was born in London, so the offer's confined to Londoners.
Well, but there must be thousands of red-headed men who would apply.
Thousands with red hair, sir.
But scarcely one in a hundred with hair to match old Ezekiah Hopkins' own.
How did I hear it described now?
Uh, not light red, not dark.
A sort of real bright blazing red.
Yeah.
Eh?
What is it?
Your hair, sir.
If you'll pardon the liberty, I should have guessed it was just the kind they're looking for.
Really?
Oh.
Well, I don't know.
