City missionaries, viveurs, policemen, journalists, and medical students — these are the people who see the realities of London; and the sight is not pleasant — Little boy, three together, coiled and curled into a strange ragged cluster on a bench in the park, when the coldest wind blows in all the twenty-four hours of the day stirs restlessly in the branches, and ruffles the surface of the water, or stretched out where you hardly them as you pass — upon the cold white doorsteps shadowed by an archway — these are not pretty spectacles to behold. — “The Hospital for Sick Children”
