' I was a nimble girl, and have always been a active body... ...I can still walk twenty mile if I am put to it. I'd far better be a-walking than getting a-numbed and dreary. I'm a fair good knitter, and can make many little things to sell. The loan from your lady of twenty shillings to fit out a basket with would be a fortune for me'
Betty Higden would rather go on the tramp than face the horrors of 'indoor relief' - Charles Dickens - 'Our Mutual Friend' p.450
