Description
Excerpt: Volume the First. Chapter 1. THE Garret and the Garden, or Low Life High Up. Sudden Friendships. In the midst of the great wilderness?we might almost say the wilds?of that comparatively unknown region which lies on the Surrey side of the Thames, just above London Bridge, there sauntered one fine day a big bronzed seaman of middle age. He turned into an alley, down which, nautically speaking, he rolled into a shabby little court. There he stood still for a few seconds and looked around him as if in quest of something. It was a miserable poverty?stricken court, with nothing to commend it to the visitor save a certain air of partial?cleanliness and semi?respectability, which did not form a feature of the courts in its neighbourhood.
