.....
‘Nay, brother, leave the boy alone. He shall have wine when he wishes for it. It shan’t be thrust on him.’ Pomfret broke out into a flurry of magnificent and filthy oaths. He then thrust David in the ribs and cried at him: ‘Why, damn thee, boy, dost thou not follow thy father? He’s a lecherous foul-dealing knave enough, I’ll be bound—no Herries, an he ain’t. Drink thy uncle’s health, boy, and be damned to thy father!’
‘Pomfret!’ said Aunt Jannice. It was enough. The uncle was cowed like a dog under a whip and took some sugar-plums from a plate and swallowed them, three at a time, like a confused child. David looked across to his father. It seemed to him then, as it was to seem to him increasingly in the coming days, that they were younger and elder brother, not father and son. And, indeed, there was only the difference of nineteen years between them.
