Excerpt from The Romance of a Back Street, Vol. 25 John Dax had been wandering about t-he London streets all day in search of the em ployment that was not ready to his hands, or to be found on that occasion at any price - times being bad, and people with spare cash in their pockets being strongly dis posed to keep it there.
