More beautiful than ever twisted braid,

Spread a green kirtle to the minstrelsy:
A virgin purest lipp'd, yet in the lore
Of love deep learned to the red heart's core:
Not one hour old, yet of sciential brain
To unperplex bliss from its
neighbour
pain;
Define their pettish limits, and estrange
Their points of contact, and swift counterchange;
Intrigue with the specious chaos, and dispart
Its most ambiguous atoms with sure art;
As though in Cupid's college she had spent
Sweet days a lovely graduate, still unshent,
And kept his rosy terms in idle languishment.

She did not know it, of course, but
the very took of her was enough to rouse any respectable landlady’s suspicions
3j8 A Clergyman's Daughter
Her stained and ragged clothes they might possibly have put up with, but the
fact that she had no luggage damned her from the start A single girl with no
luggage is invariably a bad lot-this is the first and greatest of the
apophthegms
of the London landlady
At about seven o’clock, too tired to stand on her feet any longer, she
ventured into a filthy, flyblown little caf i near the Old Vic theatre and asked
for a cup of tea The proprietress, getting into conversation with her and
learning that she wanted a room, advised her to ‘try at Mary’s, in Wellmgs
Court, jest orff the Cut’ ‘Mary’, it appeared, was not particular and would let a
room to anybody who could pay Her proper name was Mrs Sawyer, but the
boys all called her Mary
Dorothy found Wellmgs Court with some difficulty You went along
Lambeth Cut till you got to a Jew clothes-shop called Knockout Trousers Ltd,
then you turned up a narrow alley, and then turned to your left again up
another alley so narrow that its grimy plaster walls almost brushed you as you
went In the plaster, persevering boys had cut the word — innumerable times
and too deeply to be erased At the far end of the alley you found yourself m a
small court where four tall narrow houses with iron staircases stood facing one
another
Dorothy made inquiries and found ‘Mary’ in a subterranean den beneath
one of the houses She was a drabby old creature with remarkably thm hair and
face so emaciated that it looked like a rouged and powdered skull Her voice
was cracked, shrewish, and nevertheless ineffably dreary She asked Dorothy
no questions, and indeed scarcely even looked at her, but simply demanded ten
shillings and then said m her ugly voice
‘Twenty-nine Third floor Go up be the back stairs ’
Apparently the back stairs were those inside the house Dorothy went up the
dark, spiral staircase, between sweating walls, in a smell of old overcoats,
dishwater and slops As she reached the second floor there was a loud squeal of
laughter, and two rowdy-looking girls came out of one of the rooms and stared
at her for a moment They looked young, their faces being quite hidden under
rouge and pink powder, and their lips painted scarlet as geranium petals But
amid the pink powder their china-blue eyes were tired and old; and that was
somehow horrible, because it reminded you of a girl’s mask with an old
woman’s face behind it The taller of the two greeted Dorothy
‘’Ullo, dearie 1 ’
‘Hullo 1 ’
‘You new ’ere?

man, though entirely bald (he was at great pains to conceal this), and he carried
himself with such a rakish air as to give the impression that his fairly sizeable
belly was merely a kind of annexe to his chest His age was forty-eight, and he
owned to forty-four People in the town said that he was a ‘proper old rascal’,
young girls were afraid of him, not without reason
Mr Warburton had laid his hand pseudo-paternally on Dorothy’s shoulder
and was shepherding her through the crowd, talking all the while almost
without a pause The Blifil- Gordon car, having rounded the pump, was now
wending its way back, still accompanied by its troupe of middle-aged
Bacchantes Mr Warburton, his attention caught, paused to scrutinize it
‘What is the meaning of these disgusting antics’’ he asked
‘Oh, they’re- what is it they call lt’-electioneering Trying to get us to vote
for them, I suppose ’
‘Trying to get us to vote for them' Good God 1 ’ murmured Mr Warburton,
as he eyed the triumphal cortege He raised the large, silver-headed cane that
he always carried, and pointed, rather expressively, first at one figure in the
procession and then at another ‘Look at it 1 Just look at it 1 Look at those
fawning hags, and that half-witted oaf grinning at us like a monkey that sees a
bag of nuts Did you ever see such a disgusting spectacle’’
‘Do be careful 1 ’ Dorothy murmured ‘Somebody’s sure to hear you ’
‘Good 1 ’ said Mr Warburton, immediately raising his voice ‘And to think
that low-born hound actually has the impertinence to think that he’s pleasing
us with the sight of his false teeth 1 And that suit he’s wearing is an offence m
itself Is there a Socialist candidate’ If so, I shall certainly vote for him ’
Several people on the pavement turned and stared Dorothy saw little Mr
Twiss, the ironmonger, a weazened, leather-coloured old man, peering with
veiled malevolence round the corner of the rush baskets that hung m his
doorway He had caught the word Socialist, and was mentally registering Mr
Warburton as a Socialist and Dorothy as the friend of Socialists
‘I really must be getting on,’ said Dorothy hastily, feeling that she had better
escape before Mr Warburton said something even more tactless
‘I’ve
got ever
such a lot of shopping to do I’ll say good-bye for the present, then ’
‘Oh, no, you won’t 1 ’ said Mr Warburton cheerfully ‘Not a bit of it* I’ll come
with you ’
As she wheeled her bicycle down the street he marched at her side, still
talking, with his large chest well forward and his stick tucked under his arm.

But an experience--(and I should not need
documents
in abundance
to prove my words, if I added)--a tried experience of twenty years, has
taught me, that the original sin of my character consists in a careless
indifference to public opinion, and to the attacks of those who
influence it; that praise and admiration have become yearly less and
less desirable, except as marks of sympathy; nay that it is difficult
and distressing to me to think with any interest even about the sale
and profit of my works, important as, in my present circumstances, such
considerations must needs be.
