There are, of course, different degrees of poverty, ranging from the helpless incompetents at the bottom of the scale to those who are in a fair degree of comfort, but who have so little laid aside for a rainy day that they live in constant fear of the poorhouse. Some struggle harder than others, and maintain an existence on or just above the poverty line these are technically the poor.
There'll be four of you, and at least two incompetents; and you've got to have money to live on. I made Colonel Duxbury lose it, and " She stopped him with the imperious little gesture he knew so well. "Not another word, if you please. I can't do your errand in this, and I wouldn't if I could."
