Description
Prologue: IN WHICH THE AUTHOR SEEKS TO CAST THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS STORY UPON ANOTHER. At the corner of a long, straight, brick?built street in the far East End of London ? one of those lifeless streets, made of two drab walls upon which the level lines, formed by the precisely even window?sills and doorsteps, stretch in weary perspective from end to end, suggesting petrified diagrams proving dead problems ? stands a house that ever draws me to it; so that often, when least conscious of my footsteps, I awake to find myself hurrying through noisy, crowded thoroughfares, where flaring naphtha lamps illumine fierce, patient, leaden?coloured faces; through dim?lit, empty streets, where monstrous shadows come and go upon the close?drawn blinds; through narrow, noisome streets, where the gutters swarm with children, and each ever?open doorway vomits riot; past reeking corners, and across waste places, till at last I reach the dreary goal of my memory?driven desire, and, coming to a halt beside the broken railings, find rest.
