Mr Spenlow had seemed a very rich man to me
When I returned to London, I was delighted to discover that
tubug Dora's aunts had decided to allow me to visit her. So every Saturday and Sunday I walked to their house in Putney, and spent the afternoons there. Sometimes Dora sang or played the guitar, sometimes we walked by the river, and sometimes I brought Traddles or my aunt with me.What happy times they were!
Mr Spenlow had seemed a very rich man to me,but when he died the lawyers discovered that Dora would not inherit much from him after all, as there were many debts to pay. So I did not feel worried that anyone would suspect me of marrying Dora for her money. Mr Spenlow's firm lost a lot of business after his death,and I realized I would have to find another profession.
I had always been good at writing, so I continued as secretary to Dr Strong, and also began reporting what was said in parliament, for the daily newspapers. I even wrote some stories, which were
tubug published in magazines, and was very pleased with the money I was earning.
