Excerpt from Green Englishman: And Other Stories of Canada
Peregrine, being the fool of the family, was sent to Canada to make his fortune. His brothers were put into those creditable and expensive professions which the Boynes had adorned for several generations. Their allowances were considerable, and on these they grumbled luxuriously, and intended so to grumble until the demise of various elderly relations of comfortable means should relieve them of the odious limitations of impecuniosity. Each of the Boynes felt aggrieved that they belonged to a family of five sons and two daughters. They frequently compared themselves with members of smaller families who were much better off, and they were quite unable to see any advantage in numerical superiority. Peregrine's eldest brother even went so far as to say that large families were a survival of the dark ages.
