But, when she was gone, I looked about me for a place to hide my face in, and got behind one of the gates in the brewery-lane, and leaned my sleeve against the wall there, and leaned my forehead on it and cried.
I had known, from the time when I could speak, that my sister, in her capricious and violent coercion, was unjust to me. I had cherished a profound conviction that her bringing me up by hand, gave her no right to bring me up by jerks.
Through all my punishments, disgraces, fasts and vigils, and other penitential performances, I had nursed this assurance; and to my communing so much with it, in a solitary and unprotected way, I in great part refer the fact that I was morally timid and very sensitive.

It is often said that the adverts Ñ especially in America Ñ are the best-crafted bits on television, and we have recently been treated to an exposition and critique of 'three-minute culture', decrying the loss of quality and sustained attention and the rise of the advert and the pop video as the norm for understanding.

 Beggar thy neighbour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beggar thy neighbour, or beggar-my-neighbour, policies seek benefits for one country at the expense of others.
The term was originally devised to characterize policies of trying to cure domestic depression and unemployment by shifting effective demand away from imports onto domestically produced goods, either through tariffs and quotas on imports, or by competitive devaluation.
More recently, beggar thy neighbour policy has taken the form of reducing domestic inflation through currency appreciation.

 EMU  - La Onda's Education Center
This causes capital inflows and a fall in E (exchange rate) meaning an appreciation of E. In country B exports to country A increase, but the fall in E reduces exports to the world (W) by a greater amount.
The result is that the increased economic activity in country A is financed by cutting activity in country B. In this model an expansionary fiscal policy is equivalent to a "beggar my neighbour policy".
The final equilibrium point is therefore C. The possible "beggar my neighbour" effects of expansionary policy undertaken by individual union member states are an argument for at least some control of fiscal policy at the union level.

 BBC - Comedy Guide - Beggar My Neighbour
A worthy keeping-up-with-the-Joneses sitcom, sprung from Comedy Playhouse and given added piquancy by the fact that the sparring neighbours were also related.
Needless to say, these inequities offend Gerald and often cause him to boast about something he and Rose have, often resulting in problems for them when they have to maintain a pretence.
The first series of Beggar My Neighbour reunited Peter Jones and Reg Varney in a kind of role-reversal to their boss/foreman positions in The Rag Trade Jones then left (it was said that he was reluctant to become involved in another long-running show) and was replaced by Desmond Walter-Ellis, but the format remained the same.

 Whitfield, June
Whitfield made her debut on television in 1951 in The Passing Show (BBC) and appeared as support to Bob Monkhouse and Derek Goodwin in Fast And Loose (BBC, 1954).
After guesting in various sitcoms for 12 years, she landed a starring role in Beggar My Neighbour (1966-68) a show about ill-matched neighbours.
Terry and June was Whitfield's most famous vehicle, and her portrayal of a typical long-suffering wife (June Fletcher) with a perennially adolescent husband (Terry Fletcher, played by Terry Scott) while not stretching her talent as an actor, nevertheless demonstrated her amazing consistency and willingness to bring the best out of any material.

Gerald is an underpaid junior executive while Harry is a high-earning factory worker, thus while the Garveys struggle to make ends meet the Butts enjoy the good life.
The Garveys try and give their neighbours the appearance that they are doing quite well when in fact they are doing quite the opposite.
The "Keeping-Up-With-The-Joneses" idea behind the show (much like that in "Keeping up Appearances"), with the added twist of the neighbours being related, worked well.
