Excerpt from Alice Franklin: A Tale; Another Part of Sowing and Reaping
There were many great dinner-parties and costly entertainments in London on the evening of a certain 18th of October; not that it was any day of public and general festivity, but there is not a day throughout the year in which, in London, this is not the case; and, besides the grand and the expensive, there were others too of a very different character, in which the five or the ten shillings, which were to provide the little entertainment for the two or three dear friends, had been spared with difficulty out of the months or weeks allowance. To our minds nothing can be more affecting than these little sacrifices to friendship and affection. Would to God that anxiety and care did not too often come in also as guests with the invited!
Let us then see, on this afternoon of the 18th of October, Elizabeth Durant enter the humble lodgings of herself and her mother, with the small basket of purchases which was to serve for the entertainment of three friends.
