George A. Birmingham was the pen name of James Owen Hannay (16 July 1865 - 2 February 1950), Irish clergyman and prolific novelist. Excerpt from the book: [...]some reason very few Englishmen undertake. "e;If the man's a millionaire,"e; I said, "e;he won't care to dine with us-and he's probably a Jew-not that I've any particular prejudice against Jews."e; "e;He's not a Jew,"e; said Gorman. "e;He's an Englishman. At least he's as English as any man with a name like that can be. I expect he'll jump at the chance of feeding with us. We're the only people on board the least likely to interest him."e; I admire Gorman's splendid self-confidence, but I do not share it. I shrank from seeking the friendship of a millionaire.[...].
