Chesterton Short(s)

Michael Coren recounts a great anecdote from Chesterton's years on Fleet Street:

"Fleet Street was his domain, and he was as much a part of it as the El Vino and Cheshire Cheese watering holes which he frequented. Kenneth Baker, now a cabinet minister, remembers a family story concerning a relative walking up Fleet Street on a beautiful summer's day. She passed an alleyway and saw a man sitting on the ground begging. A side door opened and Gilbert Chesterton came out. He saw the man, looked for a moment, and then turned his pockets completely inside out, emptying the contents into the lap of the amazed man." Michael Coren, *Chesterton: The Man Who Was G.K. Chesterton*, 1990, p. 142.
