He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor(裁缝),hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christs Colleges basic food was meat and beer.Darwins bill topped 636 pounds during his three years of study at Cambridge. Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum (金额)would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century.In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them.And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study.
