Now Jim Postlethwaite's nobbut eighty-nine and my dad’s seen ninety-four this last back-end.
I wondered if AR might have heard of the schooner James Postlethwaite when he was thinking up a name for the young chap of eighty-nine. Or he might have read about it - I suppose there would be items about shipping in the local paper.
