ABSTRACT
Before his emigration to Australia, he would not have had the resources to indulge these fancies, but his increased prosperity while working on The Bulletin allowed sartorial eccentricities again. He records in a letter to Fink:
By the way give my love to Wolf and tell him that the clothes made for me by his tailor (Scomfield & Co) are the best I have ever had and since getting them have worn no other. They are quite good yet. I cannot wear them out, we are going to make a pair of drawing room curtains of the trousers. They will look rather nice looped up.3
