"Well, -- suppose it had pleased God to cast my lot some whither, that the daily work I had to do was mighty dislikeful to me; and some other maiden that I knew, had that to do withal which I would have loved dearly: -- were it ill for me to wish that my business had been like hers?"
Clare Avery A Story of the Spanish Armada Emily Sarah Holt 1864
