In Which William Dent Pitman takes Legal Advice.
Norfolk Street, King's Road--jocularly known among Mr Pitman's lodgers as 'Norfolk Island'-- is neither a long, a handsome, nor a pleasing thoroughfare.

The cat's-meat man passes twice a day.

An occasional organ-grinder wanders in and wanders out again, disgusted.
