George did his best not to speed as he headed for Padraig's home. What would he tell the officer? 'I'm sorry, my brother is having an extremely dramatic reaction to his erection?'
He laughed at that, even though it wasn't funny and he did feel quite bad for Padraig. George knew very well what it was like to end up in a hell of your own making. Padraig needed him to be supportive, and also to get him very drunk, both of which George intended to do.
When he arrived at Padraig house, he heaved the keg over his shoulder easily and knocked on the front door.
