Tom Hayes was the brother of Esther Hayes who came to live on the Street after being released from prison. He had several crazy money-making ideas, all of them needing some sort of investment, usually from Esther which she flatly refused. After sponging off his sister for too long, a friend of Esther's pointed out to him that he wasn't welcome anymore and he subsequently left.

Famous quotes containing the words tom and/or hayes:
“The palsy plagues my pulses”
—Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 37)
“The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
