"Dublin was disappointing, I admit,” Sowerbutt said,
thinking it best to push on and not invite more criticism from Polly. “With the Church there threatening eternal damnation,
there’s just not the business. I
checked the books, as you know, for that half-share of the brothel we were offered, but there
wasn’t the turnover. Plenty of
red-blooded lads living in Dublin, but it is a small town, too strait-laced,
not like the Smoke. Not much business on the side either. The port is tiny
and nothing much is coming in there.
“Still it was good to catch up
with some of the Blueshirts I knew in Spain and we’ll be getting some deliveries soon of Irish beef and
butter. Make a pretty penny.”http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-of-Red-ebook/dp/B00B1CWM5M/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1358353851&sr=1-1
