Quote #10
He felt his great body again aching for the comfort of the public-house...Yet he must get money somewhere or other […] Suddenly, as he was fingering his watch-chain, he thought of Terry Kelly's pawn-office in Fleet Street. That was the dart! Why didn't he think of it sooner? (Counterparts.41)
This is not the best investment on Farrington's part. Not only does he end up spending all but pennies of the money he gets from pawning his watch-chain, he doesn't even feel drunk at the end of the night. It's a double bummer that probably could have been avoided with some good old-fashioned therapy.
Quote #11
"Would you like a drink, boy?"
"If you please, sir," said the boy.
The old man opened another bottle grudgingly, and handed it to the boy.
"What age are you?" he asked.
"Seventeen," said the boy.
[…]
"That's the way it begins," said the old man. (Ivy Day in the Committee Room.144-48, 50)
It's hard to trust Old Jack after we've heard him talk about beating his son, and he seems to be thinking about his son's problem anyway. It's easier to confront this messenger boy, however, than to actually make a difference in his son's problems.
