Description:Excerpt from The Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 4: January to June, 1885A hunchbacked dwarf, waiting in Fleet Street for the clock to strike, looked in at a pawnbroker's shop window. It was night time, and the street was filled with flaring lights and dismal shadows. The rain plashed mournfully, and Oily tears, within and without, smeared the glass Of the window panes. The hunch back's battered hat and seedy cloak were agleam with rain, and he shivered as he looked at the window. He was a sorrowful figure, and had a sorrowful story if, anybody had cared to hear it. His expression was one of starven misfortune and servitude to fate, but he wore a look of pathetic dignity which no creature with a heart could have insulted.He was hungry and lonely, and had scarce heart left in him for anything, when he turned to while away a minute in rainy Fleet Street, and looked, as if by chance, at a pawnbroker's window. And 10! He was wet and hungry, and despised and poor, no longer, and no longer aweary of the world. There awoke within him the most extravagant soul of hope, the tenderest' memories, and the most passionate singleness of purpose.All this chaos of emotion opened in his heart at the mere sight of a medal which hung in the pawnbroker's window. The medal bore a ticket, and on the ticket was 'eastern Curio. Guinea Gold. With Inscription. Only £2.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
