Perfectly. And Rosscullen will understand you too. BROADBENT (cheerfully). Of course it will. So that's all right. (He pulls up his chair and settles himself comfortably to lecture Doyle). Now, Larry, I've listened carefully to all you've said about Ireland; and I can see nothing whatever to prevent your coming with me. What does it all come to? Simply that you were only a young fellow when you were in Ireland. You'll find all that chaffing and drinking and not knowing what to be at in Peckham just the same as in Donnybrook. You looked at Ireland with a boy's eyes and saw only boyish things. Come back with me and look at it with a man's, and get a better opinion of your country.
