Cousin Pearl's a writer. When she started her career she mainly wrote about the female partners of successful footballers. She reasoned that public appetite for these stories is so strong that a good income was pretty well assured.

In fact it turned out differently and sales of her books were very poor indeed. Her financial situation became so poor that she couldn't even afford to dress in decent clothes.

Humans have been cruel but that beside

And honourable, in spite of all.

Therefore, be proud to have lived.
