Chapter XIX

Commencement of my life’s afternoon. My 264
father’s eight sisters-in-law return
to Wales. Astounding attitude of my
mother. Physical effect thereof on
myself. I move to Stoke Newington.
Further parochial activities. Simeon
Whey obtains a living. I move to
Hornsey and become a Churchwarden.
Complete decline of Ezekiel Stool.
Birth of my son. A happy augury
