CHAPTER XX
26/49

My sister's name is Emma Vine.

And when our sister Jane was on her very death-bed, which she died not a week after he married you, and I know well as it was grief as killed her.

And now we haven't got enough to eat for Emma and me and my two little children, for I am a widow myself.

But that isn't all.
Because he found that his friends in Hoxton was crying shame on him, he got it said as Emma had misbehaved herself, which was a cowardly lie, and all to protect himself.
