At the end of chapter 13, Mason makes a quip on the phrase "Bob's your
Uncle." Forgive an ignorant American, but what exactly does this mean? Is
it simply a non-sequator roughly meaning "Whatever happens, happens"?

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion;
it is easy in solitude to live after our own;
but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.--Emerson
