We spend hundreds of thousands on the merest wastrels in the slums, and the finest class that we've got are left neglected.

I would rather see every racecourse loafer from Whitechapel and Southwark blotted out of the world than I would lose ten men like that fellow Withers." Marion Dearsley said, "I don't think the neglect is really blameworthy.
For instance, I'm sure that my uncle knows nothing about what we have seen in the last few days.

He is charitable on system, and he weighs and balances things so much that we tease him.

He never gives a sixpence unless he knows all the facts of the case, and I'm sure when I tell him he'll be willing to assist Mr.Fullerton.Then I'm as ignorant as my uncle.

I can guess a great deal, of course, but really I've only seen about half a dozen men, after all.
