Hell
George Gissing (1857-1903), The Nether World, Vol. III, Chap. X (Mad Jack speaking):

This life you are now leading is that of the damned; this place to which you are confined is Hell! There is no escape for you. From poor you shall become poorer; the older you grow the lower shall you sink in want and misery; at the end there is waiting for you, one and all, a death in abandonment and despair. This is Hell—Hell—Hell!
