The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft
·
George Gissing
3
Time
went
on;
things
happened;
but
Ryecroft
was
still
laborious
and
poor.
In
moments
of
depression
he
spoke
of
his
declining
energies,
and
evidently
suffered
under
a
haunting
fear
of
the
future.
The
thought
of
dependence
had
always
been
intolerable
to
him;
perhaps
the
only
boast
I
at
any
time
heard
from
his
lips
was
that
he
had
never
incurred
debt.
It
was
a
bitter
thought
that,
after
so
long
and
hard
a
struggle
with
unkindly
circumstance,
he
might
end
his
life
as
one
of
the
defeated.
