Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.
A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Injustice breeds injustice
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another
Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some
The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.
Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth; but trust and pity, love and constancy,--they do, thank God!

The Somnambulist by Essie Fox, is a gothic mystery with much of the action taking place in Victorian East London - in a grand garden square and the threatening docks, as well as Wilton's Music Hall, a crumbling but magical theatre still in existence today. With many illustrations to give a sense of time and place, Essie's talk will discuss the places, people, inspirations and themes that occur in her historical novel, with ample opportunity for any questions afterwards. The talk starts at 6pm. Follow Essie's blog The Virtual Victorian at http://virtualvictorian.blogspot.com. Tickets £2 including refreshments.
