The moral of his life came in just as he was leaving it, for he rose from his deathbed to hide a whisky bottle from his wife. The children used to fling stones at Grinder Queery because he loved his mother. I never heard the Grinder's real name.
The Grinder's mode of life was too well known for even a mother to attempt to deny it. But she pretended that she was very honest herself, and appealed to sundry brandy-balls and stale biscuits in her window, to prove that she lived after a decent, honest, commercial fashion. Sam was of course remanded.
