His wife Michael Rossiter's tenderly-loved mother had died from a neglected prolapsus of the womb, and the old rambling house in Northumberland situated in superb scenery, had in its furniture grown more and more hideous to the eye as early and mid-Victorian fashions and ideals receded and modern taste shook itself free from what was tawdry, fluffy, stuffy, floppy, messy, cheaply imitative, fringed and tasselled and secretive.
Somehow it gave me the key to my standing with him just that of a very tenderly-loved pet dog. No words can say how good he has always been to me. If I lost him, I should lose my all everything which makes home, home; and life a safe, and certain, thing.
All of these survived him except his eldest daughter Mary, his tenderly-loved blind child, who died before him. His wife only survived him for a brief period, "following her faithful pilgrim from this world to the other whither he was gone before her" either in 1691 or 1692. On this, and the proceeds of his books, she supported herself till she rejoined him.
It seemed as if the wretched life he had been leading was all a horrible dream out of which he had awakened, and that the child sleeping in his bosom was his own tenderly-loved baby. But the sweet illusions faded away, and the hard, sorrowful truth stood out sternly before him. Then Andy's eyes opened and looked into his face.
