Toole called Sturk a 'horse doctor, and 'the smuggler' in reference to some affair about French brandy, never made quite clear to me, but in which, I believe, Sturk was really not to blame; and Sturk called him 'that drunken little apothecary' for Toole had a boy who compounded, under the rose, his draughts, pills, and powders in the back parlour and sometimes, 'that smutty little ballad singer, or 'that whiskeyfied dog-fancier, Toole. There was no actual quarrel, however; they met freely told one another the news their mutual disagreeabilities were administered guardedly and, on the whole, they hated one another in a neighbourly way.
