"The drollest figure" joke

PERHAPS, the drollest figure in the annals of American law was Judge Ben Lindsay. A woman who had worked for him and his wife as a servant for some years, came one day asking that the Judge might recommend her son for a job.
"Why, Maggie," said Judge Lindsay, "I had no idea you were married. You have never mentioned this lad of yours before."
"Well," the woman said, "I'm not married, that's true. But I haven't been entirely neglected."
