For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Is what Jimmy is saying is that .. he thought it would be easy to have that relaxation of spirit .. but because he can't get a 'proper' job earning big money ( works a sweet stall on the market ) that in fact to get that relaxation of spirit he yearns for .. he has to sweat his guts off first? And was he also saying that because Alison came from a better background than his .. that she never ever had a hair out of place or a bead of sweat .. because he didn't need to as her family provided her comforts?
