The Captain lifts his hand as though wounded. 'An' do you call that love, Juno — sech love as saves me from the pavin' stones an' from the gallows?' he says, his voice sinking into a sentimental whine. 'Faith, I'm a ruined man! I'm as poor as Lazarus with a hole in his pocket! Gin and the police the only friends I have now! An' yet I was once a gentleman, Juno — once I had a name for bein' a man of consequence. Now I'm Captain Boyle an' I can't pay me rates.'
