Excerpt from book: 35 A LITTLE DINNER IN THE BOROUGH The clocks in the Borough are striking twelve, midday; the rain is coming down in a drizzle; cold and nipping blows the wintry wind; umbrellas are in mortal throes, and gasp and wheeze and creak; road and footpath are thick with mud, and so slimy that men and horses slip and slide and slither on their greasy way. Never, in fact, did even the Borough look more sombre, more depressing than on this most disagreeable morning. But, bless you, the children in this part of the world don't seem to mind the rain nor the cold winds in the least.

And no wonder! The din they make rises even above the Borough roar, Down Marshalsea Road they troop, and then suddenly disappear. ' Whither are they bound ? ' asks the stranger. ' Why?to the Farm House, ' comes the answer, with a stare at you of superior knowledge. ' The Farm House!' exclaims the stranger. Then he marvels at the grotesque incongruity, and wonders what sort of a farmhouse can exist in the Borough. But there it is, sure enough?at the bottom of a grim passage they call Harrow Street. And this Farm House does in truth prove to be the goal which all these children have made for on this particularly unpleasant winter day. Harrow Street is full of them from top to bottom.
