Product Information

Excerpt from The Heart of a Child: Being Passages From the Early Life of Sally Snape Lady Kidderminster In Angel Gardens, Limehouse, the spring sun had less opportunity than anywhere else in the whole of London. It was a narrow, filthy, ill-paved cul-de-sac. On either side of its foul gutters were tottering, low tenement houses, the fronts bulging, the broken windows filled in with rags or paper, the roofs rotting. There was a swarming life of women and children on doorsteps, and in the roadway - ragged, wretched, appallingly dirty. Brooding over all was that close, oppressive stench which tells of dirt and poverty. Yet here, on that May day, ten years ago, the organ-grinder turned his tune, and, with shoeless feet, or feet worse than shoeless, in men's boots, carpet slippers, gaping, ragged gear of every description, the draggle-tailed children danced. And they danced well, w a reel, w a polka, w a valse, t the latest fashionable variety perhaps, but always in strict time, with never a step missed, and a sense of gaiety and abandonment, amazing to the district visitor, new to her work, and already heart-sick with what she had seen and heard that spring afteron. On a heap of rags on the floor in the first house she had entered, it was the first entry on the list given to her, there lay a dying woman.
