"Buffy" Struggles
An old companion of Galahad, Buffy was a member of the Pelican Club, whose unfortunate demise is frequently used by Galahad to illustrate the dangers of drinking tea. Mr Struggles, after attending a Temperance lecture and learning what alcohol does to the liver, renounced drink and imbibed only tea, until a few days later he was run over by a Hansom cab and killed (a fate which, Galahad asserts, he could easily have dodged had his system been kept alert with a healthy tipple or two).

Famous quotes containing the word struggles:
“As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
