The
emphatic1 declaration I made at the end of the last chapter seems to demand an explanation forthwith, but the reader, if he has had patience to follow me so far in my
recital2 of these experiences, must wait for the proper sequence of events. Being assured that I was absolutely free from
molestation3 by anybody on account of past debts, and in no danger of any trouble so long as I did not obtain credit to the extent of £20 without disclosing the fact that I was an undischarged bankrupt, I went on my way rejoicing. For whatever doubts I had about my future, of one thing I was certain, and that was that I would never go into business again as a tradesman, and as for getting credit for £20 I laughed at the idea.
Perhaps I was too elated at the knowledge that I was free from the hateful
incubus4 which had robbed me of all joy in my life for so long, but I think I had some excuse, and whether I had or not I allowed myself to feel happy. Occasionally I felt
depressed5 by the thought of how near I was to forty years of age, how small were my chances of starting my children in life, and how tired and worn out I was feeling, but I was naturally
elastic6 of
temperament7, and the
rebound8 I had lately felt was
entirely9 beneficial to me. I worked at the bench still, but with
reluctance10, because I had learned by bitter experience, that work I never so hard, the reward was entirely incommensurate with the
outlay
