Excerpt from Did He Deserve It?
At the end of each year certainly no one could have told less accurately than himself how rent, rates, taxes, had been met and a horde of ravening creditors satisfied.
Of two things, however, he felt quite convinced, viz. That not a man in England worked harder, and that no canal horse was worse treated.
This was his normal state of mind. When worldly affairs ran pretty smoothly, which they did on rare occasions, he said, The age of miracles is not past.
Nevertheless, he looked well, slept well. People meeting him in society never imagined he found life a hard struggle; and yet in truth such was the case.
