Excerpt from Workhouse Characters: And Other Sketches of the Life of the Poor These sketches have been published in various papers during the last thirteen years. Many of the characters are life portraits, and the wit and wisdom of the common people have been faithfully recorded in a true Boswellian spirit; others are Wahrheit und Dichtung (if one may still quote Goethe), but all have been suggested by actual fact and experience. During the last ten years great reforms have been taking place in the country. In 1908 the Old Age Pensions Act came into force, and the weekly miracle of 5s. a week (now 7s. 6d.) changed the world for the aged, giving them the liberty and independence, which ought to be the right of every decent citizen in the evening of life. The order by which a pauper husband had the right to detain his wife in the workhouse by "his marital authority" is now repealed.

"[...]lunched at a little inn on the Thames, and ordered some champagne to celebrate the recovery of my liberty. "But by strange irony of fate the very day I escaped from the toils of love I fell under another tyranny-that of alcohol. Now, Peg"-I started at the unfamiliar old nickname of my school days-"I believe you are crying. Having shed more than my own share of tears, nothing irritates me so much as to see other women cry, and if you don't stop I'll not say another word." I drew my handkerchief across my eyes and admitted to a cold in the head. "Shortly afterward I received notice to leave the High School. I did not mind-I always hated teaching, and I found that I had the power of writing; an article that I could flash off in a few hours would keep me for a week, and I could[...]".

-She is rather better,- said the nurse in answer to my question, -but she has had a very bad night, screaming the whole time at the rats and mice she thought she saw, and the doctor fears collapse, as her heart is weak; but if she can get some sleep she may recover.- Sleep in the crowded Mental Ward, with maniacs shrieking and shouting around! But exhausted Nature can do a great deal, and when I called some days later I found my old friend discharged to the General Sick Ward, a placard above her head setting forth her complaint as -chronic alcoholism, cirrhosis of the liver, and cardiac disease.
