Rachel Trooper's father Charlie

Rachel’s (married name Trooper) father Charlie has a brush with the law at Windsor in 1892. He pleads guilty to being drunk. When asked who supplied him with liquor, he winks both eyes and replies “a gen’leman up the s’reet”. The Bench smiles and imprisons him until three o’clock to be released in time to catch the train to Kiama. (Brook, 1st edit, 55)
