I'd like every drop of New England blood drained out of me, and something say Hebrew or or Middle-West," he laughed, "substituted in place of it. To you this is 'pretty' and 'cozy' and and 'cheerful'; to me well, it's like an orgy of blue laws; it's the personification of witch-lore like self-inflicted penance for I don't know what."
The difference between your precept and practice is infinitely more ridiculous; you draw a realistic word-picture of that servile life; you pour contempt on the man who runs into the trap of a rich man's house, where a thousand degradations, half of them self-inflicted, await him; and then in extreme old age, when you are on the border between life and death, you take this miserable servitude upon you and make a sort of circus exhibition of your chains.

Do you realize to what sufferings you are dooming the hearts that love you, and whose happiness is bound up in yours? Do you realize that you are making our home dark and gloomy as the dungeons of the Inquisition?"
