"The fact is, I don't like to begin about it with Brooke, in our mutual position; the whole thing is so unpleasant. I do wish people would behave like gentlemen," said the good baronet, feeling that this was a simple and comprehensive programme for social well-being

agree  Özden Arıkan: Para kopartma, sömürme veya başka bir şey olabilir (zehirini alma vb/mecazen). Sülük eskiden vücudu zehirden temizlemede kullanılırmış; netteki örnekler de hep bu yönde, yani anlam negatif olmayabilir. Sanırım sorandan daha fazla açıklama gerekiyor.
