"And I remember your bachelor dinner--most of it, that is." "Well, my boy Fred's as red-headed now," Mr.Kinney went on, "as his mother was then, and he's very bitter about his row with Georgie Minafer.

He says he'd rather burn his foot off than set it inside any Amberson house or any place else where young Georgie is.

Fact is, the boy seemed to have so much feeling over it I had my doubts about coming myself, but my wife said it was all nonsense; we mustn't humour Fred in a grudge over such a little thing, and while she despised that Georgie Minafer, herself, as much as any one else did, she wasn't going to miss a big Amberson show just on account of a boys' rumpus, and so on and so on; and so we came." "Do people dislike young Minafer generally ?" "I don't know about 'generally.' I guess he gets plenty of toadying; but there's certainly a lot of people that are glad to express their opinions about him." "What's the matter with him ?"
