I have an annuity, and have had it for many years." "No," said Mr. Dempster, "you have no annuity; you got a sum of money instead." Mrs. Peck started at this confident assertion, and coloured indignantly.
It does not seem to me a wise thing for the State either to emancipate children from this duty or to induce every married working man to sink his savings in an annuity which will end with his life and from which his widow and children can derive no benefit.
'And now, she continued, as soon as she could speak, 'when you are once more free, and in a position actually in a position to claim the annuity that would be the making of you, I am compelled to come to you, and beseech you to undo yourself again, merely to save me!
