  3. Jennifer Donnelly _ The Tea Rose

    Will gritted his teeth as Will Junior and Nellie continued their debate. He loved his son, but he found him--and many members of hisgeneration--ruthless in their pursuit of money and standing and harsh toward the less fortunate. He had reminded him on many occasions that both the McClanes and their mother's family--the Van der leydens--had at one time been immigrants. As had members of all the city's wealthy families. But Will's lectures made no difference to his son. He was an American. And those getting off the boat at Castle Garden were not. Italian, Irish, Chinese, Polish--nationality made no difference. They were lazy, stupid, and dirty. Their numbers spelled ruin for the country. p. 264

  4. Jennifer Donnelly _ The Tea Rose

    Paddy'nin ve Charlie'nin ücretleri hane gelirinin aslan payını teşkil ediyordu; kirayı onlar ödüyor, giysileri onlar satın alıyor ve yemeğin büyük bir kısmını onlar karşılıyordu. Kate'in ve Fiona'nın kazançları kömüre ve ayakkabı boyası, kahve ve benzeri ev ihtiyaçlarına gidiyordu. Eğer Paddy veya Charlie hastalanır ve işe gidemezlerse herkes zarara uğrardı. Bu, Doğu Londra'nın her sokağının evinde aynıydı. Erkekler et yerken, kadınlar ne bulurlarsa onu yerlerdi."
