Herein he differs from a bishop suffragan who also helps a bishop but does not necessarily succeed him. The yearly salary of the Philadelphia bishop coadjutor is $10,000, plus $2,500 for maintenance of a house...

A crop of nettles, a dead cow, and by the stairs a prostrate lump that was a man. Sleepily he stirred, instinctively levelled his pistol at them; accidentally it went off, nipped Marda in the hand. The girls explained they were merely out for a walk; the man snarled it was time they gave up walking-for he was a Black-&-Tan, exhausted from days of guerrilla warfare, and they were the Irish aristocracy that...
