In the waning days of that time of my life, I did find love. That existence of privation included within it a letter I received from my 'counsel'. That short notice of payment past due, offered to me a compromise. Were I to submit to him half of what is due, he would not pursue further collection.

I jumped at it. A fine and pleasant woman friend, familiar with my circumstance, bravely agreed to deliver my check, it being the depletion of all my wealth, in person onto said barrister for me.

That same woman said to me last night, you have done more for your children than anyone I know.
