Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Much as he had liked [his previous employers], George Michael [Clarkson] liked the builder-brothers just as well. The feeling was mutual, and the brothers tried to fill some of the voids in George Michael's home environment. "I was the only apprentice they ever had. And they used to lend me books and look after my moral welfare. They were great church-goers and that sort of thing".'
