Description
Excerpt: It was in the smoking?room of a second?rate commercial hotel. A rakish fellow, newly back from the Colonies, began to abuse England; he hated a country where there was no free space, where every inch of ground belonged to some landlord or other, where you couldn't live without paying rent ?Hold on!? cried Cogswell, who had done well at the races, and was in merry mood; ?there?s people living in England who pay no rent. Yes, living in houses they don?t own, and without any landlord houses as haven't belonged to anybody for no one knows how long.? ?Go along!? ?I tell you it?s true. You?d like to know where, wouldn't you? Well, the place is in London. I?ll tell you so much, and charge nothing for the information.?
