New Grub Street

CHAPTER XII
25/32

Married a sailor at fifteen.

Was shipwrecked somewhere, and only restored to life after terrific efforts;--her story leaves it all rather vague.

Then she turns up as a newspaper correspondent at the Cape.

Gave up that, and took to some kind of farming, I forget where.

Married again (first husband lost in aforementioned shipwreck), this time a Baptist minister, and began to devote herself to soup-kitchens in Liverpool.
