    what wealth can do when the latch of the door was opened and in walked a fine young gentleman. It was Xmas Eve. Both the tailor and the gentleman wished each other a happy Xmas. "Do you know me" said the gentleman. "No" said the tailor "I never saw you before" "Indeed you did" said the gentleman "for I am the devil to whom you sold yourself a year ago". The tailor almost fainted and called for a drink of water.
