The apprehension, to which Charles
Lynford had 81 given ~ utterance
proved to be only too well founded. In
less than a month from the date Of the
conversation Just recorded, the limited
supply of work which he had been able
to secure entirely failed and he found
himself withoat work of any kind,
thrown back upon his resources. -,

seemed unexpected when it actually
came upon him, and, again he returned
home in a ; fit of disappointment. He
briefly explained to his wife the new
calamity which had come upon them.

hope of better times till spring, 90 s.
