Button, who was one of the lodgers, cast upon her the eyes of desire and married her.

Why she married Button she could never determine.

Perhaps she had a romantic idea--and there is romance even in Budge Street-that Button would support her.

He very soon shattered any such illusion by appropriating the remainder of her fortune and kicking her into the factory with hobnailed boots.

It would be wrong to say that Mrs.Button did not complain; she did.
