"The task of thirty years is over." It is indeed over.

No one ever read "The Millennium." I am not going to sentimentalize over my copy, for how much of it have I read?
But neither shall I say that it was written to no end.
You may care to know the last of Jimsy, though in one sense he was blotted out when the last copy was bound.

He had saved one hundred pounds by that time, and being now neither able to work nor to live alone, his friends cast about for a home for his remaining years.

He was very spent and feeble, yet he had the fear that he might be still alive when all his money was gone.

After that was the workhouse.
