Notes

  • Author note: Denied employment on the line of lode, I applied to the council but with little success. After much time and trouble I at length obtained a job at stonebreaking. This was insecure, and often I was not permitted to make more than half-wage. In brief time even this was denied, and I was cast adrift - and no one to care what became of me.
