That idea, indeed, of going to Startup had come across his brain, of going to Startup, and of asking assistance from the prosperous elder brother.

Mr Stumfold and Mr Frigidy were at the other table, and Mr Maguire was occupied in passing promiscuously from one to the other.
"I so often feel that I am making myself odious when I am telling them to do this or that; and then I ask myself what I should say if anybody were to come and advise me how to manage you and the bairns."
