After Dark

PREFACE TO "AFTER DARK
10/84

Pray heaven he may succeed at the farmhouse! We may be sure of the children's health, at least, if we live in the country.

Talking of the children, I must not omit to record that Emily has nearly done one end of the bead purse already.
20th .-- A note from the doctor, who is too busy to call.

Such good news! They will give us two bedrooms, and board us with the family at Appletreewick for seventeen shillings a week.

By my calculations, we shall have three pounds sixteen shillings left, after paying what we owe here.

That will be enough, at the outset, for four weeks' living at the farmhouse, with eight shillings to spare besides.
