The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby

CHAPTER 21
9/16

So, the name and address were obtained without loss of time, and Miss Nickleby and her mama went off in quest of Mrs Wititterly, of Cadogan Place, Sloane Street, that same forenoon.
Cadogan Place is the one slight bond that joins two great extremes; it is the connecting link between the aristocratic pavements of Belgrave Square, and the barbarism of Chelsea.

It is in Sloane Street, but not of it.

They affect fashion too, and wonder where the New Road is.
