Charles's father, John, had overspent their income for so many years, that he finally saw nothing ahead of the family but ruin. When he was 12 (about 1824), Charles was sent to live in rooms near Warren's Blacking Company, where he worked for about eight months. Shortly after he did so, his father was jailed for debt. A few months later, a small inheritance allowed John and his family to move out of the debtors prison and Charles was allowed to leave Warren's and come home. His mother tried to insist that he continue working, but his father brought him home; as a result, Charles harbored a deep and implacable resentment toward his mother for the rest of his life.
