A little while ago I passed & Horls's shop. In the window there вогле chrysanthemums. You have to have money to buy even flowers-things of beauty which "should be growing wild for all the world to see or in carefully cultured garden.
Life is not fair.

It allows you to fall in love, but you have to have money to get married
Lite is an obsequious tradesman: when your pockets are well-lined he stands deferentially in the door of his shop, and amfies you in to pick of his wares; when you are down he lets you stand on the pavement and drops his blind with a thud in your face.
