Excerpt from The House of the Seven Gabblers
With an inward doubt as to anything cheap being heavenly, I heaved an envious sigh.
Oh, you lucky creature! I cried. It sounds too delightful. I am so woefully tired of my kind of life. It is only pleasure - never real interest or peace. Really, my boy Alwyn is my sole excuse for living.
