—290 LETTEES OF JANE "WELSH CAELYLE TOLETTEES OF JANE WELSH CAELYLE TOAMELY BOLTE, 1843-1849.5 Cheyne Eow : December 23, 1843.Unmenschliche !—Are you become soinoculatedwith the commercial spirit of this England, thatyouwill no longer write to me but on the debtor-andcreditorprinciple ? Am I no longer to have anyprivileges—moi? no longer to receive two or threeor even four letters for one, in consideration of myworries and my indolence ? So you, at least, seemto have resolved ! But thank heaven there are stillgenerous spirits among my correspondents whodespise such balancing of accounts : who rain downletters on me ' thick as autumnal leaves ' withoutasking even whether I read them!—And you thinkno shame of yourself, cold-blooded calculating littleGerman that you are ?—Well then, open your ledgerand set down now in black and white :'MademoiselleBolte debtor to Mrs. Carlyle—in one letter to bepaid immediately no credit given.''What are you doing and thinking, and wishing,and hoping,—for in Devonshire I suppose people canstill ho;pe—even in December—here the thing is im-

My husband ismore imprudent, he goes on still willing to write this* Life of Cromwell ' under the most desperate apprehensionthat it will * never come to anything '—andas if people had the use of their faculties in all statesof the atmosphere ! And so he does himself a dealof harm and nobody any good. He came into thisroom the other morning when I was sitting peaceablydarning his stockings, and laid a great bundle ofpapers on my fire, enough to have kindled thechimney, if it had not been, providentially, sweptquite lately—the kindling of a chimney (as you inyour German ignorance may perhaps not beaware)subjecting one here in London to the awful visitationof three fire-engines ! besides a fine of five poundsI fancied it the contents of his waste-paper-basketthat he was ridding himself of by this summaryprocess. But happening to look up at his face, Isaw in its grim concentrated self-complacency the
