She was in distress of spirit rather than of circumstances, for temptation was thick about one so beautiful, to supply the vanities and luxuries of the father of sin. He described her.
Although I was now earning a good salary, I still lived in lodgings at Camden Town, took an omnibus to and from the theater, and denied myself all luxuries. I did not take a house until I went to the Court Theater. It was then, too, that I had my first cottage a wee place at Hampton Court where my children were very happy.
Ah, the dreary regularity of these breakfasts and dinners, which go on just the same when our hearts are breaking!" The breakfast was indeed a dreary soul-dispiriting meal.
