Excerpt from The Door on the Latch Two days of perpetual rain following fog, had damped not only the earth, but the hilarity of Londoners. The general complaint was "lowness of spirits." Perhaps my gaiety - not great at any time - had run out. Heaven knows there was not much to keep it brisk or lively! From Friday night, the 25th of October, to the evening of Tuesday, the 29th, I had struggled with a depression and sense of coming trouble that all but laid me down. Such an attack I had not had for years. I did my best to keep going, and to hide my misery from others. I succeeded, my family suspected nothing, noticed nothing. While sitting darning a tray-cloth, and nearly blinded by unshed tears, the wind rose. A gentle rustling at first, then some good gusts came round the south-east comer of the house and flipped a branch of creeper against the window. I thanked God.
