On the night of the day about which we have been writing, a woman, dressed in “unwomanly rags” crept out of the shadow of the houses near London Bridge. She was a thin, middle-aged1 woman, with a countenance2 from which sorrow, suffering, and sin had not been able to obliterate3 entirely4 the traces of beauty. She carried a bundle in her arms which was easily recognisable as a baby, from the careful and affectionate manner in which the woman’s thin, out-spread fingers grasped it.
Hurrying on to the bridge till she reached the middle of one of the arches, she paused and looked over. The Thames was black and gurgling, for it was intensely dark, and the tide half ebb5 at the time. The turbid6 waters chafed7 noisily on the stone piers8 as if the sins and sorrows of the great city had been somehow communicated to them.
But the distance from the parapet to the surface of the stream was great. It seemed awful in the woman’s eyes. She shuddered10 and drew back.
“Oh! for courage—only for one minute!” she murmured, clasping the bundle closer to her breast.
The action drew off a corner of the scanty11 rag which she called a shawl, and revealed a small and round, yet exceedingly thin face, the black eyes of which seemed to gaze in solemn wonder at the scene of darkness visible which was revealed. The woman stood between two lamps in the darkest place she could find, but enough of light reached her to glitter in the baby’s solemn eyes as they met her gaze, and it made a pitiful attempt to smile as it recognised its mother.
“God help me! I can’t,” muttered the woman with a shiver, as if an ice-block had touched her heart.
She drew the rag hastily over the baby’s head again, pressed it closer to her breast, retraced12 her steps, and dived into the shadows from which she had emerged.
This was one of the “lower orders” to whom Sir Richard Brandon had such an objection, whom he found it, he said, so difficult to deal with, (no wonder, for he never tried to deal with them at all, in any sense worthy13 of the name), and whom it was, he said, useless to assist, because all he could do in such a vast accumulation of poverty would be a mere14 drop in the bucket. Hence Sir Richard thought it best to keep the drop in his pocket where it could be felt and do good—at least to himself, rather than dissipate it in an almost empty bucket. The bucket, however, was not quite empty—thanks to a few thousands of people who differed from the knight15 upon that point.
The thin woman hastened through the streets as regardless of passers-by as they were of her, until she reached the neighbourhood of Commercial Street, Spitalfields.
Here she paused and looked anxiously round her. She had left the main thoroughfare, and the spot on which she stood was dimly lighted. Whatever she looked or waited for, did not, however, soon appear, for she stood under a lamp-post, muttering to herself, “I must git rid of it. Better to do so than see it starved to death before my eyes.”
Presently a foot-fall was heard, and a man drew near. The woman gazed intently into his face. It was not a pleasant face. There was a scowl16 on it. She drew back and let him pass. Then several women passed, but she took no notice of them. Then another man appeared. His face seemed a jolly one. The woman stepped forward at once and confronted him.
“Please, sir,” she began, but the man was too sharp for her.
“Come now—you’ve brought out that baby on purpose to humbug17 people with it. Don’t fancy you’ll throw dust in my eyes. I’m too old a cock for that. Don’t you know that you’re breaking the law by begging?”
“I’m not begging,” retorted the woman, almost fiercely.
“Oh! indeed. Why do you stop me, then?”
“I merely wished to ask if your name is Thompson.”
“Ah hem9!” ejaculated the man with a broad grin, “well no, madam, my name is not Thompson.”
“Well, then,” rejoined the woman, still indignantly, “you may move on.”
She had used an expression all too familiar to herself, and the man, obeying the order with a bow and a mocking laugh, disappeared like those who had gone before him.
For some time no one else appeared save a policeman. When he approached, the woman went past him down the street, as if bent18 on some business, but when he was out of sight she returned to the old spot, which was near the entrance to an alley19.
At last the woman’s patience was rewarded by the sight of a burly little elderly man, whose face of benignity20 was unmistakably genuine. Remembering the previous man’s reference to the baby, she covered it up carefully, and held it more like a bundle.
Stepping up to the newcomer at once, she put the same question as to name, and also asked if he lived in Russell Square.
“No, my good woman,” replied the burly little man, with a look of mingled21 surprise and pity, “my name is not Thompson. It is Twitter—Samuel Twitter, of Twitter, Slime and—, but,” he added, checking himself, under a sudden and rare impulse of prudence22, “why do you ask my name and address?”
The woman gave an almost hysterical23 laugh at having been so successful in her somewhat clumsy scheme, and, without uttering another word, darted24 down the alley. She passed rapidly round by a back way to another point of the same street she had left—well ahead of the spot where she had stood so long and so patiently that night. Here she suddenly uncovered the baby’s face and kissed it passionately25 for a few moments. Then, wrapping it in the ragged26 shawl, with its little head out, she laid it on the middle of the footpath27 full in the light of a lamp, and retired28 to await the result.
When the woman rushed away, as above related, Mr Samuel Twitter stood for some minutes rooted to the spot, lost in amazement29. He was found in that condition by the returning policeman.
“Constable,” said he, cocking his hat to one side the better to scratch his bald head, “there are strange people in this region.”
“Indeed there are, sir.”
“Yes, but I mean very strange people.”
“Well, sir, if you insist on it, I won’t deny that some of them are very strange.”
“Yes, well—good-night, constable,” said Mr Twitter, moving slowly forward in a mystified state of mind, while the guardian30 of the night continued his rounds, thinking to himself that he had just parted from one of the very strangest of the people.
Suddenly Samuel Twitter came to a full stop, for there lay the small baby gazing at him with its solemn eyes, apparently31 quite indifferent to the hardness and coldness of its bed of stone.
“Abandoned!” gasped32 the burly little man.
Whether Mr Twitter referred to the infant’s moral character, or to its being shamefully33 forsaken34, we cannot now prove, but he instantly caught the bundle in his arms and gazed at it. Possibly his gaze may have been too intense, for the mild little creature opened a small mouth that bore no proportion whatever to the eyes, and attempted to cry, but the attempt was a failure. It had not strength to cry.
The burly little man’s soul was touched to the centre by the sight. He kissed the baby’s forehead, pressed it to his ample breast, and hurried away. If he had taken time to think he might have gone to a police-office, or a night refuge, or some such haven35 of rest for the weary, but when Twitter’s feelings were touched he became a man of impulse. He did not take time to think—except to the extent that, on reaching the main thoroughfare, he hailed a cab and was driven home.
The poor mother had followed him with the intention of seeing him home. Of course the cab put an end to that. She felt comparatively easy, however, knowing, as she did, that her child was in the keeping of “Twitter, Slime and —.” That was quite enough to enable her to trace Mr Twitter out. Comforting herself as well as she could with this reflection, she sat down in a dark corner on a cold door-step, and, covering her face with both hands, wept as though her heart would break.
Gradually her sobs36 subsided37, and, rising, she hurried away, shivering with cold, for her thin cotton dress was a poor protection against the night chills, and her ragged shawl was—gone with the baby.
In a few minutes she reached a part of the Whitechapel district where some of the deepest poverty and wretchedness in London is to be found. Turning into a labyrinth38 of small streets and alleys39, she paused in the neighbourhood of the court in which was her home—if such it could be called.
“Is it worth while going back to him?” she muttered. “He nearly killed baby, and it wouldn’t take much to make him kill me. And oh! he was so different—once!”
While she stood irresolute40, the man of whom she spoke41 chanced to turn the corner, and ran against her, somewhat roughly.
“Hallo! is that you?” he demanded, in tones that told too clearly where he had been spending the night.
“Yes, Ned, it’s me. I was just thinking about going home.”
“Home, indeed—’stime to b’goin’ home. Where’v you bin42? The babby ’ll ’v bin squallin’ pretty stiff by this time.”
“No fear of baby now,” returned the wife almost defiantly43; “it’s gone.”
“Gone!” almost shouted the husband. “You haven’t murdered it, have you?”
“No, but I’ve put it in safe keeping, where you can’t get at it, and, now I know that, I don’t care what you do to me.”
“Ha! we’ll see about that. Come along.”
He seized the woman by the arm and hurried her towards their dwelling44.
It was little better than a cellar, the door being reached by a descent of five or six much-worn steps. To the surprise of the couple the door, which was usually shut at that hour, stood partly open, and a bright light shone within.
“Wastin’ coal and candle,” growled45 the man with an angry oath, as he approached.
“Hetty didn’t use to be so extravagant,” remarked the woman, in some surprise.
As she spoke the door was flung wide open, and an overgrown but very handsome girl peered out.
“Oh! father, I thought it was your voice,” she said. “Mother, is that you? Come in, quick. Here’s Bobby brought home in a cab with a broken leg.”
On hearing this the man’s voice softened46, and, entering the room, he went up to a heap of straw in one corner whereon our little friend Bobby Frog—the street-Arab—lay.
“Hallo! Bobby, wot’s wrong with ’ee? You ain’t used to come to grief,” said the father, laying his hand on the boy’s shoulder, and giving him a rough shake.
Things oftentimes “are not what they seem.” The shake was the man’s mode of expressing sympathy, for he was fond of his son, regarding him, with some reason, as a most hopeful pupil in the ways of wickedness.
“It’s o’ no use, father,” said the boy, drawing his breath quickly and knitting his brows, “you can’t stir me up with a long pole now. I’m past that.”
“What! have ’ee bin runned over?”
“No—on’y run down, or knocked down.”
“Who did it? On’y give me his name an’ address, an’ as sure as my name’s Ned I’ll—”
He finished the sentence with a sufficiently47 expressive48 scowl and clenching49 of a huge fist, which had many a time done great execution in the prize ring.
“It wasn’t a he, father, it was a she.”
“Well, no matter, if I on’y had my fingers on her windpipe I’d squeeze it summat.”
“If you did I’d bang your nose! She didn’t go for to do it a-purpose, you old grampus,” retorted Bobby, intending the remark to be taken as a gentle yet affectionate reproof50. “A doctor’s bin an’ set my leg,” continued the boy, “an’ made it as stiff as a poker51 wi’ what ’e calls splints. He says I won’t be able to go about for ever so many weeks.”
“An’ who’s to feed you, I wonder, doorin’ them weeks? An’ who sent for the doctor? Was it him as supplied the fire an’ candle to-night?”
“No, father, it was me,” answered Hetty, who was engaged in stirring something in a small saucepan, the loose handle of which was attached to its battered52 body by only one rivet53; the other rivet had given way on an occasion when Ned Frog sent it flying through the doorway54 after his retreating wife. “You see I was paid my wages to-night, so I could afford it, as well as to buy some coal and a candle, for the doctor said Bobby must be kept warm.”
“Afford it!” exclaimed Ned, in rising wrath55, “how can ’ee say you can afford it w’en I ’aven’t had enough grog to half screw me, an’ not a brown left. Did the doctor ask a fee?”
“No, father, I offered him one, but he wouldn’t take it.”
“Ah—very good on ’im! I wonder them fellows has the cheek to ask fees for on’y givin’ advice. W’y, I’d give advice myself all day long at a penny an hour, an’ think myself well off too if I got that—better off than them as got the advice anyhow. What are you sittin’ starin’ at an’ sulkin’ there for?”
This last remark was addressed gruffly to Mrs Frog, who, during the previous conversation, had seated herself on a low three-legged stool, and, clasping her hands over her knees, gazed at the dirty blank walls in blanker despair.
The poor woman realised the situation better than her drunken husband did. As a bird-fancier he contributed little, almost nothing, to the general fund on which this family subsisted56. He was a huge, powerful fellow, and had various methods of obtaining money—some obvious and others mysterious—but nearly all his earnings57 went to the gin-palace, for Ned was a man of might, and could stand an enormous quantity of drink. Hetty, who worked, perhaps we should say slaved, for a firm which paid her one shilling a week, could not manage to find food for them all. Mrs Frog herself with her infant to care for, had found it hard work at any time to earn a few pence, and now Bobby’s active little limbs were reduced to inaction, converting him into a consumer instead of a producer. In short, the glaring fact that the family expenses would be increased while the family income was diminished, stared Mrs Frog as blankly in the face as she stared at the dirty blank wall.
And her case was worse, even, than people in better circumstances might imagine, for the family lived so literally58 from hand to mouth that there was no time even to think when a difficulty arose or disaster befell. They rented their room from a man who styled it a furnished apartment, in virtue59 of a rickety table, a broken chair, a worn-out sheet or two, a dilapidated counterpane, four ragged blankets, and the infirm saucepan before mentioned, besides a few articles of cracked or broken crockery. For this accommodation the landlord charged ninepence per day, which sum had to be paid every night before the family was allowed to retire to rest! In the event of failure to pay they would have been turned out into the street at once, and the door padlocked. Thus the necessity for a constant, though small, supply of cash became urgent, and the consequent instability of “home” very depressing.
To preserve his goods from the pawnbroker60, and prevent a moonlight flitting, this landlord had printed on his sheets the words “stolen from —” and on the blankets and counterpane were stamped the words “stop thief!”
Mrs Frog made no reply to her husband’s gruff question, which induced the man to seize an empty bottle, as being the best way of rousing her attention.
“Come, you let mother alone, dad,” suggested Bobby, “she ain’t a-aggrawatin’ of you just now.”
“Why, mother,” exclaimed Hetty, who was so busy with Bobby’s supper, and, withal, so accustomed to the woman’s looks of hopeless misery61 that she had failed to observe anything unusual until her attention was thus called to her, “what ever have you done with the baby?”
“Ah—you may well ask that,” growled Ned.
Even the boy seemed to forget his pain for a moment as he now observed, anxiously, that his mother had not the usual bundle on her breast.
“The baby’s gone!” she said, bitterly, still keeping her eyes on the blank wall.
“Gone!—how?—lost? killed? speak, mother,” burst from Hetty and the boy.
“No, only gone to where it will be better cared for than here.”
“Come, explain, old woman,” said Ned, again laying his hand on the bottle.
As Hetty went and took her hand gently, Mrs Frog condescended62 to explain, but absolutely refused to tell to whose care the baby had been consigned63.
“Well—it ain’t a bad riddance, after all,” said the man, as he rose, and, staggering into a corner where another bundle of straw was spread on the floor, flung himself down. Appropriately drawing two of the “stop thief” blankets over him, he went to sleep.
Then Mrs Frog, feeling comparatively sure of quiet for the remainder of the night, drew her stool close to the side of her son, and held such intercourse64 with him as she seldom had the chance of holding while Bobby was in a state of full health and bodily vigour65. Hetty, meanwhile, ministered to them both, for she was one of those dusty diamonds of what may be styled the East-end diggings of London—not so rare, perhaps, as many people may suppose—whose lustre66 is dimmed and intrinsic value somewhat concealed67 by the neglect and the moral as well as physical filth68 by which they are surrounded.
“Of course you’ve paid the ninepence, Hetty?”
“Yes, mother.”
“You might ’ave guessed that,” said Bobby, “for, if she ’adn’t we shouldn’t ’ave bin here.”
“That and the firing and candle, with what the doctor ordered, has used up all I had earned, even though I did some extra work and was paid for it,” said Hetty with a sigh. “But I don’t grudge69 it, Bobby—I’m only sorry because there’s nothing more coming to me till next week.”
“Meanwhile there is nothing for this week,” said Mrs Frog with a return of the despair, as she looked at her prostrate70 son, “for all I can manage to earn will barely make up the rent—if it does even that—and father, you know, drinks nearly all he makes. God help us!”
“God will help us,” said Hetty, sitting down on the floor and gently stroking the back of her mother’s hand, “for He sent the trouble, and will hear us when we cry to Him.”
“Pray to Him, then, Hetty, for it’s no use askin’ me to join you. I can’t pray. An’ don’t let your father hear, else he’ll be wild.”
The poor girl bent her head on her knees as she sat, and prayed silently. Her mother and brother, neither of whom had any faith in prayer, remained silent, while her father, breathing stertorously71 in the corner, slept the sleep of the drunkard.
