Somewhat. I had to start somewhere, after all.

[ And being a bachelor in the days he'd grown in, it was important to learn how to cook. He'd never been particularly rich, more of the intellectual vein in his day, but he'd had some money. Enough that he hadn't had to particularly worry too much about where his meals were coming from.

It had been a luxury, in those days. When the soot and filth of London could blanket everything, where people lived out in the cold, and men like he and Dickens were comfortable in their beds and hot meals and full bellies.

Eventually, I took to learning what others had to teach. They have a lot of knowledge to spread around, but often a few kind words can bring more knowledge than a few dollars.
