Excerpt from The Testing of Olive Vaughan
"Overton!"
The man bout to cross Piccadilly Circus turned round to face the rather shabbily dressed individual who had called after him.
"Halloo, Tennant, how are you? You are a stranger. Has the golden harvest you deserve to reap begun to ripen yet?"
"It may be ripening, but I don't know where. I have been doing plenty of work, but the return does not warrant luxury. For the first time since my marriage I managed to pay my rent this quarter without asking for extra time, which is something. It was worth a considerable amount of money, I can assure you, to witness my wife's great satisfaction."
His difficulties did not trouble him, apparently, for he laughed light-heartedly.
"Things might be worse, then?" said Overton.
"I have never been able to consider my affairs so bad that they might not be worse. My inability to do so has caused my wife much trouble at times.
"You have made two mistakes in life, Tennant. You should never have condescended to hackwork, and you ought not to have got married."
"My marriage was not a mistake, at least so far as I am concerned. Truth compels the admission that I sometimes pity my wife. As for my work, I cannot afford to be original. Originality is a luxury, Overton. Making bricks pays; trying to manufacture diamonds costs money, and usually ends in failure.
