In these streets the observantwill always find all those evidences of depressing semi-poverty which aremore evident in London than in any other English city. The houses look asif laughter was never heard within them. Where the window blinds are nottorn, they are dirty; the folk who come out of the doors wear anxious anddepressed faces. Such shops as are there are mainly kept for the sale offood of poor quality: the taverns at the corners are destitute ofattraction or pretension. Whoever wanders into these streets finds theirsordid shabbiness communicating itself: he escapes, cast down, wonderingwho the folk are who live in those grey, lifeless cages; what they do,what they think; how life strikes them. Even the very sparrows which fightin the gutters for garbage are less lively than London sparrows usuallyare; as for the children who sit about the doorsteps, they look as if thegrass, the trees, the flowers, and the sunlight of the adjacent KensingtonGardens were as far away as the Desert of Gobi. Within this slice of thetown, indeed, life is lived, as it were, in a stagnant backwash, whichnothing and nobody can stir.In an upper room of one of the more respectable houses in one of thesomewhat superior streets of this neighbourhood, a young man stood lookingout of the window one November afternoon. It was then five o'clock, andthe darkness was coming: all day a gentle, never-ceasing rain had beenbringing the soot down from the dark skies upon the already dingy roofs.It was a dismal and miserable prospect upon which the watcher looked out,but not so miserable nor so dismal as the situation in which he just thenfound himself. The mean street beneath him was not more empty ofcheerfulness than his pockets were empty of money and his stomach of food.He had spent his last penny on the previous day: it, and two othercoppers, had gone on a mere mouthful of food and drink: since theirdisappearance he had eaten nothing. And he was now growing faint withhunger--and to add to his pains, some one, downstairs, was cookingherrings. The smell of the frying-pan nearly drove him ravenous.
