I might take a small share in some business, go into the City.
Then at other times I feel I shouldn't like being cooped up in a town after the life I've led.

Sometimes, this last month, I've felt I couldn't breathe.

It was though, are you, all the chimneys were going to tumble in.

When you're out on a field you know where you are, don't you?
So I've thought it would be nice to have a little farm somewhere in the South, Devonshire or Glebeshire ...

And then I'd marry of course, a girl who'd like that kind of life and wouldn't find it dull.
There'd be plenty of work--a healthy life for children right away from these towns ...
