Jennifer Worth
“In large groups of enclosed people who were not allowed out, infectious diseases spread like wildfire. For example, in the 1880s in a workhouse in Kent, it was found that in a child population of one hundred and fifty-four, only three children did not have tuberculosis.”
Jennifer Worth, Shadows of the Workhouse

“Daylight meant that she must exist in a world that was growing darker and darker because she knew that there was not a man within miles who wanted a plain twenty-nine-year-old spinster.”
Laura Langdon
