The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft
·
George Gissing
32
Nature
took
revenge
now
and
then.
In
winter
time
I
had
fierce
sore
throats,
sometimes
accompanied
by
long
and
savage
headaches.
Doctoring,
of
course,
never
occurred
to
me;
I
just
locked
my
door,
and,
if
I
felt
very
bad
indeed,
went
to
bed--to
lie
there,
without
food
or
drink,
till
I
was
able
to
look
after
myself
again.
I
could
never
ask
from
a
landlady
anything
which
was
not
in
our
bond,
and
only
once
or
twice
did
I
receive
spontaneous
offer
of
help.
Oh,
it
is
wonderful
to
think
of
all
that
youth
can
endure!
What
a
poor
feeble
wretch
I
now
seem
to
myself,
when
I
remember
thirty
years
ago!
