Default letter to lord chesterfield
I was reading Letter to Lord Chesterfield by Samuel Johnson, but I found a sentence difficult to understand, and I need your help.

qoute:Is not a patrons my lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help?

I still do not know why there is an S after PATRON.

Your opinion will be much appreciated.
