Excerpt from James Bevanwood Baronet

Very weary, very, very tired of it all, and yet how easily things might be far worse! She had a roof to cover her, enough food for her small wants, clothes, such as they were; the sordid, trumpery finery with which other girls decked themselves had never appealed to her. To her clothes were simply - clothes, and so, easily, things might be worse. There were many other girls who would count themselves as lucky if they could change lots with her.

But for the rest she had a great and unsatisfied hunger, a strange, undefined yearning and longing for something - something she had never known. Here it was always the same - to-day as yesterday, and all the yesterdays and to-morrows - the same sounds, the deep nasal breathing of the other women, the thud, thud of their irons, the indescribable smell that had become part of her very life. The steam, the strong soap, the musty scent of the unwashed linen, all mingled in one familiar whole; that smell was part and parcel of her daily existence, for nine hours a day she had her being in it.
