The Journal of a Disappointed Man

"Poor
old
Mrs.
Seemsoe
is
just
the
same,
she
doesn't
know
anybody
but
she
talks,
the
nurse
put
a
grape
in
her
mouth
but
she
didn't
know
what
to
do
with
it,
I
think
it
is
very
sad.
She
was
taken
about
a
fortnight
before
Easter.
Will
you
tell
me
dear
if
this
is
right
receipt
for
clothes
1/2
oz.
carbolic
in
1/2
pint
of
rose
water.
Harry
Gammon's
2
little
children
have
measles,
poor
Maisie
has
gone
with
her
Aunt
Susan,
poor
old
Joe
Gammon
they
say
had
very
little
to
leave,
we
don't
know
where
Robert
gets
his
money
from.
I
dare
say
you
saw
that
Tom
Sagg
has
married
another
of
Ned
Smith's
daughters
and
we
hear
these
Smith
girls
are
rare
housekeepers
and
this
girl
that
has
married
Tom
Sagg
has
made
all
her
own
linen.
Mrs.
Wilkins,
the
butcher's
wife
is
going
to
have
a
little
one
after
15
years,
our
Vicar
has
been
laid
up
with
an
abscess,
he
told
us
about
his
brother
the
other
day,
he
says
as
brothers
they
love
each
other
very
much.
We
have
3
very
sad
cases
of
men
ill
in
the
village.
We
had
4
but
one
man
died
of
cancer.
"Yr
loving
Sister
Amy."
Voilà!
March
7.
If
I
die
I
should
like
to
be
buried
in
the
cherry
orchards
at
V----.
How
the
beastly
mob
loves
a
tragedy!
The
sudden
death
of
the
Bank
Manager
is
simply
thrilling
the
town,
and
the
newspapers
sell
like
hot
cakes.
Scarcely
before
the
body
is
cold
the
coincidence
of
his
death
on
the
anniversary
of
his
birth
is
discussed
in
every
household;
every
one
tells
everybody
else
where
they
saw
him
last
"he
looked
all
right
then."
The
policeman
and
the
housemaid,
the
Mayor
and
the
Town
Clerk,
the
cabman
and
the
billposter,
stand
and
discuss
the
deceased
gentleman's
last
words
or
what
the
widow's
left
with.
"Ah!
well,
it
is
very
sad,"
they
remark
to
one
another
with
no
emotion
and
continue
on
their
way.
