Explore "The Remittance Man" by Ambrose Pratt on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Shortly after his appointment Jan had consented, at the earnestly expressed entreaty of Alan Laing, to take up his permanent residence at the Bungalow, only stipulating that he should be allowed to pay his friend a weekly stipend for his board and lodging.
The arrangement was a peculiarly happy one for both, since as companions they suited each other admirably, and had they separated each must have resumed his former solitary habits, for neither was persona grata to Ballina, and in any case neither would have cared to mix in the society that Ballina afforded.
