Some of the worst villains of our cities are the employers of these women. They beat them down to the last penny and try to cheat them out of that.

"Well, that's pretty much my thought," said Captain Smollett.
"The more mischief the better sport," said the crabbed old watchmaker. "I am blithe, though, that it's neither of the twa loons themselves. What are ye bringing a corpse here for, ye fause villains?" he added, addressing the two apprentices, who, at the head of a considerable mob of their own class, some of whom bore evident marks of a recent fray, were carrying the body betwixt them.
