After being injured by him as a rival, and snubbed by him as a journeyman, the crowning degradation had been reserved for this day that he should be shaken at the collar by him as a vagabond in the face of the whole town. The crowds had dispersed. But for the green arches which still stood as they were erected Casterbridge life had resumed its ordinary shape.
You, a thin little stick of a boy, who if it weren't for my money might have risen to be a journeyman barber out in the Bronx Let me see your hands. Ugh! The hands of a barber you presume to be smart with me, who once had three counts and a bona-fide duke, not to mention half a dozen papal titles pursue me from the city of Rome to the city of New York."
