The grants to individuals were divided into three classes 2,000, 1,500, and 1,000 acres each.
'This week, he continued, 'I received news which settled the matter for me. Jameson and Thorpe, the big drapers in Dublin, were my best customers for certain goods. Last Monday they wrote that they had an offer of blankets at a figure a long way below mine. I didn't believe that articles equal in quality to mine could be produced at the price, and wrote a hint to that effect.
Ben showed them how to rid themselves of their burden; "a burden," he said, "packed full and overflowing by men of my race the London Welsh drapers." The Welsh drapers were alarmed, and in a rage with Ben. They took the opinion of their big men and performed slyly.

There was even a confectioner who sold boxes of pastilles a l'eau de Lourdes, with a figure of the Virgin on the cover.
"What people?" inquired Rose faintly. "Those Breen people those DRAPERS.
