The highest vocation of man is spiritual activity the perpetual search for truth and the meaning of life. Make coarse animal labour unnecessary for them, let them feel themselves free, and then you will see what a mockery these dispensaries and books are.

Mangan's half-seen face, "why do they give dispensaries to chaps that can't doctor a cat?" "Because their fathers can spend four or five hundred pounds to buy votes!" returned Mrs. Mangan, laughing at him. "Is that news to you? Lie down child, and don't be looking at me like that!
