Any person in London can see these poor wretches, who are in as low a
state as it is possible to fall into. It is almost impossible to miss
them, whether they are seated or walking, for if you are not looking
their way you are almost certain of hearing strange sounds and having
your attention drawn to them. They all talk to themselves, and laugh
and swear; for cold nights and hunger have made them crazy to a great
extent. Two of them are seldom seen together, for each one has just
enough sense to know that he draws more attention than is good,
without inviting more. Time is nothing to these; if they have enough
bread to last the day, they are not likely to leave one particular
seat. As a rule each one has a certain spot to spend the day, and,
after being forced to walk all night, they return as soon as possible
to their favourite place. It is in the early morning that they get
their food, and where they get it is a secret each one keeps to
himself. This secret is their living, and that is another cause why
they should be reserved with one another. One of these men told me
once that he knew a certain large private house where a paper parcel
consisting of fragments of food was to be found every morning in the
back alley, close to the ash-bin. This paper parcel had kept him for
three years, but he had missed it several times. No doubt some stray
beggar had found it on those occasions, but, not knowing that such a
parcel was put there every morning, had never troubled to look for
it again. When I heard this I could not help thinking how likely it
was that something would happen to disappoint him; that the tenant's
absence or death would alter such an arrangement. But I did not give
the least hint of this, for I saw that the poor fellow thought he
was sure of bread for life. He had not the least doubt but what the
parcel would always be put there, and his only worry was that some
other beggar would follow him and learn his secret, or discover the
parcel by accident. In the winter this man spent all his days on one
particular seat, when he could get it, and as near to it as possible
when it was already taken
a face! " and entered the office laughing -- he, he, he! 

 Any person in London can visualize these hapless wretches, who are in as low a 
 country as it is possible to fall into. It is about impossible to miss 
 them, whether they are seated or walking, for if you are not look 
 their way you are almost sealed of hearing strange sounds and having 
 your care drawn to them. They all talk to themselves, and laugh 
 and trust; for cold nights and hunger have made them brainsick to a great 
 extent. Two of them are seldom seen in concert, for each one has just 
 enough sense to know that he draw more attention than is good, 
 without inviting more. Time is nothing to these; if they have adequate 
 bread to last the day, they are not likely to leave one particular 
 buttocks. As a convention each one has a certain spot to spend the day, and, 
 after being forced to walk all night, they return as soon as possible 
 to their favorite place. It is in the early morning that they make 
 their food, and where they induce it is a secret each one keeps to 
 himself. This mystery is their living, and that is another lawsuit why 
 they should be reserved with one another. One of these men tell me
