CHAPTER V: ALONE IN THE WORLD
24/28

Then, again, your knowing nothing of London is against you as an errand boy; and what's worse than all this, anyone can see with half an eye that you're a gentleman, and not accustomed to hard work.

However, we will think it over.

The daylight's breaking now, and I has to be at work at six.

But look ye here, young fellow, tomorrow I've got to look for a room, and when I gets it there's half of it for you, if you're not too proud to accept it.

It will be doing me a real kindness, I can tell you, for what I am to do alone of an evening without Jane and the kids, God knows.
