His boon companions were spendthrifts and gamesters, dissolute fellows, of whom the least said soonest mended; and with them he was brawling early and late, very often all night long. And though money came in fast, he wasted it faster, so that matters went from bad to worse. Duns came spying about his door, and bailiffs hunted after him around the town with unpaid tradesmen's bills.
Owen, I am afraid, is inexperienced as yet. 'Yes; your brother is not old enough for such a post yet, of course. And then there are rent-days, the audit and winding up of tradesmen's accounts. I am afraid, Cytherea, you don't know much more about the matter than I do myself.... I am going out just now, she continued. 'I shall not want you to walk with me to-day. Run away till dinner-time.

Tradesmen's boys will lean up against places that are not dry and get their clothes enameled and claim compensation. And the baby will suck the paint off its cradle and have fits. But the person that will suffer most will, of course, be the eldest daughter's young man. The eldest daughter's young man is always unfortunate. He means well, and he tries hard.

He promised himself to go to the front by and by, but not while Laura was shivering in torn clothes under a bush. "But what are you going to do?" "Simply to get us a few necessaries of life.
Philip had whispered introductions to the pleasant people who had pulled him in tradesmen's sons perhaps they were, or medical students, or solicitors' clerks, or sons of other dentists.
