Dick Borrow

In the short story The Call of Wings, Dick Borrow is a parson serving in the East End of London. After dinner one night, Borrow remarks to his friend, the self-made millionaire Silas Hamer that he appears a contented man. While Hamer agrees, he also takes Borrow's point that they are polar opposites. Hamer says that he cannot understand why Borrow also appears contented--for Borrow's source of contentment appears to lie in helping the poor and the unfortunate.
