This Is A New Release Of The Original 1914 Edition.

This scarce antiquarian book is included in our special Legacy Reprint Series.

Because this work is culturally important, we have made it available as a part of our commitment to protecting, preserving and promoting the world's literature.

1914. With a frontispiece. The book begins: It was four o'clock on a cheerless February afternoon; a hopeless drizzle descended upon London, and a gaunt old woman, wrapped in a knitted shawl, stood at the window of a boardinghouse, peering into the street. Although she nodded her head, and blinked her eyes approvingly, there was not much to see-in fact, the outlook was as dull and devoid of interest as the lady's own existence. A row of ugly houses, a leaden sky, a scanty procession of umbrellas, cabs, and carts, and one miserable lost dog, frightened and famishing.
