    Working in coal mine to save up to be a lord.

    Do you have many Dickinsian friends? Do they wear stovepot hats? Were they street urchins?

      See, you can’t even believe someone telling a real story. You need to ridicule, make fun of it, because you can’t fathom that people still work / worked recently in coal mines. Newsflash, read up on European coal mines. Read up on industrialized regions - Ruhr in Germany. Silesia in Poland.
