Evidence:
'Oh, I have strained my eyes trying to read, and had to give it up in the end. I call it dismal, sitting for half an hour or more in a dark, gloomy carriage, so's you can't read; can't even look at the girls sitting opposite you; can't see your station. That's not going to keep us cheerful and "bring us victory," is it?'
