"I had no idea I should find it so difficult," he reflected. Life insurance seemed to him so beneficent, and so necessary a protection for those who would otherwise be unprovided for, that he could not understand how any one who cared for his wife and children could fail to avail himself of its advantages. After leaving the house of Mr. Fishbach he kept on in the same direction.
