Yet with all his limitations Kipps was an intensely human little man, as human as Mr Kenwigs in Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby — and almost equally limited. Kipps was apprenticed by his uncle to a Folkestone draper who " set himself assidu- ously to get as much out of Kipps and to put as little into him as he could in the seven THE SUPERMAN IN THE STREET 71 years of their intercourse. " He spent his day answering the ever-recurring command, " Kipps, forward, " and, having aspirations, he spent som...e of his evenings at a wood- carving class where he met a real lady, Miss Walsingham. Then Kipps inherited a fortune of " twelve hundred pounds a year " and set up to be a gentleman, incidentally becoming engaged to the lady of the wood- carving class. But Kipps had courage. He hated being a gentleman, and he escaped from gentility and his lady fiancee to marry a pretty young servant girl whom he had first known when he was a small boy. Wells draws the girl, Anne, with splendid skill and sympathy — Anne with the self- control and the queer detachment from emotionalism that characterise her class.
