text_original: It was only when the sons saw themselves penniless and professionless, with the great battle of life all before them, and with no weapons wherewith to fight ; and the daughters found themselves left portionless, to win the best husbands they might in the matrimonial lottery : it was only at this crisis that these ungrateful children turned round upon poor, indulgent Lear, and reproached him for the extravagances they had helped him to perpetrate. This was a cruelty which George Vane could never bring himself to comprehend.
