53. Possibly said first by the inventor of the sandwich

Dec 2012
When Mr. Eden, afterwards Lord Auckland, de-
serted the standard of Fox for that of Pitt, he
sent, in justification of his apostacy, a circular
letter to his former political colleagues. The reply
of Lord Sandwich was sufficiently laconic : " Sir,"
he said, " your letter is before me, and will pre-
sently be behind." Lord Sandwich died on the
30th of April 1792, in his seventy-fifth year.
