The thought of no longer being obliged to hold an inquest on every sixpence; of bidding farewell forever to this life of pinching and screwing; of dwelling decently instead of pigging it in a cramped and jerry-built semi-detached; of enjoying once more some of life's brightnesses sport, for instance, of which he was passionately fond; of the means to wander, when disposed, through earth's fairest places these reflections would have fired his soul as he stood there, but that the flame of hopefulness had long since died within him and gone out.
