Everything checks out in this interesting article (date of creation, length, hook, inline citations to RS throughout). If the original hook is considered slightly derogatory, perhaps it could be amended to 'that a man described by his neighbours as "the upstart spawn" etc.'? NinaGreen (talk) 16:09, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
