Reade, Charles, 1814-1884

"Hard Cash"

--Your affectionate brother,
ALFRED.'
A poor return for me loving his soul as my own. I do but advise him the
self-denial I myself pursue. Woe be to him if he rejects it."
_"March 20th._--A perverse reply from J. D. I had proposed we should
plead for our parents at the Throne. She says she fears that might seem
like assuming the office of the mediator: and besides her mother is
nearer Heaven than she is. What blindness! I don't know a more thoroughly
unhealthy mind than poor Mrs. (k) Dodd's. I am learning to pray walking.
Got this idea from Mr. Plummer. How closely he walks! his mind so
_exactly_ suits mine.
_"March 22nd._--Alfred returned. Went to meet him at the station. How
bright and handsome he looked! He kissed me so affectionately; and was as
kind and loving as could be: I, poor unfaithful wretch, went hanging (m)
on his arm, and had not the heart to dash his carnal happiness just then.
"He is gone _there._"
_"March 24th._--Stole into Alfred's lodging when he was out; and, after
prayer, pinned Deuteronomy xxvii. 16, Proverbs xiii. 1, and xv.
