These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: Liddon, otherwise a comparatively uncultured person, was an accomplished cook and domestic administrator; Jenny, the eldest daughter, in whom the qualities of both parents blended, got up early in the morning to buy provisions at the market, and did all the dressmaking for the family; Joe, a junior in his father's office, paid something for his board, and otherwise kept and clothed himself; and Sarah, the youngest, who had a bent spine, was literary, like her father, in whose intellectual pursuits she had had the largest share, and morally indispensable, though not practically supporting, in the economy of the household. . ..It would have been nice, after a day's work"-she looked persuadingly at Sarah-"to have had tea in our own back parlour, all alone by ourselves, free and comfortable; and in the evening to have totted up our takings for the day-all cash, of course-and seen them getting steadily bigger and bigger; and by-and-by-because I know that, with a good start, I should have succeeded-to have become well enough off to sell out, and go to travel in Europe, and do things." . . .Joey thought of an elegant little cousin up country, the daughter of a bank manager, who naturally turned up her nose at retail trade; and he said that, as the present head of the family-he was afraid Jenny was over-looking the fact that he held this position by divine right of sex-he should certainly withhold his sanction from any such absurd project, risk or no risk
