“They Were Looking After Themselves, Living With Rigid Economy; And There Was No Greater Proof Of Their Friendship Than The Way Their Harmony Withstood Their Very Grave Differences In Domestic Behaviour. In Jack's Opinion Stephen Was Little Better Than A Slut: His Papers, Odd Bits Of Dry, Garlic'd Bread, His Razors And Small-clothes Lay On And About His Private Table In A Miserable Squalor; And From The Appearance Of The Grizzled Wig That Was Now Acting As A Tea-cosy For His Milk-saucepan, It Was Clear That He Had Breakfasted On Marmalade.
Jack Took Off His Coat, Covered His Waistcoat And Breeches With An Apron, And Carried The Dishes Into The Scullery. 'My Plate And Saucer Will Serve Again,' Said Stephen. 'I Have Blown Upon Them. I Do Wish, Jack,' He Cried, 'that You Would Leave That Milk-saucepan Alone. It Is Perfectly Clean. What More Sanitary, What More Wholesome, Than Scalded Milk?”
