The story of his struggles to do so in his life in Bermondsey, and of his journey to Australia in the steerage of a German liner and of his roughing it there, always with the same object in view, cannot be told here. The first outcome of it all was the writing of his book, The Lord of All Good Life.
For instance, there are for the accommodation of the West-end and the visitors to London some thirty theatres, and these are nearly always kept running; but for the densely populous districts of Islington, Somers Town, Pentonville, and Clerkenwell, combined, there are only two; for Hoxton and Haggerston, there is only one; for the vast region of Marylebone and Paddington, only one; for Whitechapel, 'and her daughters, two; for Shoreditch and Bethnal Green, one; for Southwark and Blackfriars, one; for the towns of Hampstead, Highgate, Camden Town, Kentish Town, Stratford, Bow, Bromley, Bermondsey, Camberwell, Kensington, or Deptford, not one.
A cousin of mine there says that their pet, Jarvis, would walk right through the best man we've ever turned out." "Oh, that's their usual brag!" "Personally, I don't think so. They have got a young Bermondsey professor who is up to all the latest dodges to coach. Our sergeant is a bit old-fashioned good, but old-fashioned. Does not do enough with his right." "I'm quite an amateur," said Dick.
And I left him with something almost like happiness looking out of his tearful eyes. Bermondsey versus Wurtemburg The trees grew thinner and thinner along the road, then ceased altogether, and suddenly we saw Albert in the wood of the ghosts of murdered trees, all grey and deserted. Descending into Albert past trees in their agony we came all at once on the houses.
A city as something to look at depends very much on its roofs. If a city have no character in its roofs it stirs neither heart nor thought. These red-tiled roofs of Bermondsey, stretching away mile upon mile, and brought up at the extremity with thin masts rising above the mist these red-tiled roofs have a distinctiveness, a character; they are something to think about.
Every nerve in his body seemed to be strained, and his eyes had the tired feel they always had when he was deeply agitated. "My God," he said, "what an ass I was to do that!" Gilbert and Roger were sitting together when he got home. "Hilloa, Quinny!" Gilbert exclaimed as he looked at Henry's white face. "What have you been up to?" He told them of his adventure in Bermondsey.
Can people have no passion that don't disturb the whole neighbourhood with their noise? Can a woman not find out she has been jilted without risking a bloodvessel? Is this the way they do in common life? I remember when that girl at Bermondsey hauled me up before David Jardine, and produced all my letters, and the ring I had given her she never spoke above her breath.
Some success in blast burning of dust fuel has been attained in the more commonplace method of the blacksmith's forge, and a boiler furnace is arranged at Messrs. Donkin's works at Bermondsey on this principle. A pressure of about half an inch of water is produced by a fan and used to drive air through the bars into a chimney draw of another half-inch.
Some miserable tenant-house in Bermondsey or the Swamp, overcrowded with human rats, its atmosphere so noisome that fever floated on every breath and the passer-by from Belgravia or Murray Hill put his perfumed handkerchief to his nostrils to escape the deadly infection, may be found to have been far less injurious to the neighborhood than the corner-house on Park Lane or the double-front of brown stone within the shadow of Dr.
Paul's and getting fifty pounds a year, and Henry'll have a curacy next month at Bermondsey it's been promised, and all thanks to Johnnie!" She wept. Johnnie, in the corner, who had so far done nought but knock at the door, maintained stiffly his policy of non-interference. Priam Farll, angry, resentful, and quite untouched by the recital, shrugged his shoulders.
