I do not disagree with you on any particular point, but in my experience there are those who work themselves into exhaustion and are still unable to better their circumstances. Most especially women. At times, they become so desperate, for one reason or another, that they cannot see a way to climb out of the hole they find themselves mired in. Often, they are oppressed by the upper classes, shunned by society, and utterly hopeless. Those are the souls I’m trying to lift from the mire. If they can only be shown a different way, a better way, perhaps they would no longer need charity.”
The Duke (Victorian Rebels, #4)
