===Marriage=== Ezra and Dorothy were married on 20 April 1914 at [[St Mary Abbots]] in Kensington,<ref>"Marriages of the Week". ''The Times''. Issue 40502, 20 April 1914, 11.</ref> the Shakespears' parish church, despite opposition from her parents, who worried about Ezra's income. His concession to marry in church had helped. Dorothy's annual income was Β£50, with another Β£150 from her family,<ref name=Moody2007pp246-249/> and Ezra's was Β£200.<ref>Tytell (1987), 74</ref> Her father, Henry Hope Shakespear, had him prepare a financial statement in 1911, which showed that his main source of income was his father.<ref>Wilhelm (1990), 81</ref> After the wedding the couple moved into an apartment with no bathroom at 5 Holland Place Chambers, Kensington, next door to the newly wed H.D. and Aldington.<ref name=Moody2007pp246-249>Moody (2007), 246β249</ref> This arrangement did not last. H.D. had been alarmed to find Ezra looking for a place to live outside the apartment building the day before his wedding. Once Dorothy and Ezra had moved into the building, Ezra would arrive unannounced at H.D.'s to discuss his writing, a habit that upset her, in part because his writing touched on private aspects of their relationship. She and Aldington decided to move several miles away to [[Hampstead]].<ref>Doyle (2016), 32β33; some details in Doolittle (1979), 5; for Pound arriving at the apartment unannounced, Doyle, 332, n. 27, cites "H.D. to Amy Lowell, 23 November 1914 (Harvard)".</ref>
