Padger suggested that young Greenfield might possibly have to have his cheek cut off if he didn't look-out, and Paul said the sooner he "stashed his cheek" the better. The result of this friendly and witty conference was that Stephen took it into his head to cure his cheek, and to that end applied for leave from Mr Rastle to go down that afternoon to Maltby to get something from the chemist.

He ordered a pint of Guinness for himself and a half for Jennifer. "Prescribed for young mothers," he said, handing it to her and taking her coat. George stared at Jennifer's stomach. "Due in April," she said.
You go ridin’ ’round with gold on you—more money than any drifter ever sees in ten years or more.
