To me, this little book-room is beautiful, and chiefly because it is home.

　　Through the greater part of life I was homeless.

　　Many places have I lived, some which my soul disliked, and some which pleased me well;

　　but never till now with that sense of security which makes a home.

　　At any moment I might have been driven forth by evil accident, by disturbing necessity.

　　For all that time did I say within myself:

　　Some day, perchance, I shall have a home;

　　yet the perchance had more and more of emphasis as life went on,

　　and at the moment when fate was secretly smiling on me, I had all but abandoned hope.

　　I have my home at last.

　　This house is mine on a lease of a score of years.

　　So long I certainly shall not live;

　　but, if I did, even so long should I have the money to pay my rent and buy my food.

　　I am no cosmopolite.

　　Were I to think that I should die away from England, the thought would be dreadful to me.

　　And in England, this is the place of my choice; this is my home.
