Your own life you have wasted at every turn, and sponged off friends and strangers until your name is a byword for bad faith and discounted bills. You have poisoned your sisters’ minds with liberal sophistries dressed up as idealism.

[... …]

I’ll be damned if I pay for any more of your wilfulness. You will not go to Berlin. That is my last word.
