In passing through the streets, the sign "Fents" is to be seen on shops in cellars. These are the odd pieces, of a yard or two in length, cut off the goods in the manufactories to make up a certain even quantity; and considerable trade is driven in them. Selections are sometimes bought up as small ventures by sea captains and emigrants.
I didn't think anything about dinner, I was that mad. But when it got dark, I thought of that girl you know her, too Minnie Park, that lives with her brother and sells fents, up Cannon Gate. And somehow I dragged up there I thought I'd ask her to take me in. And what happened I don't rightly know.
Here are the cotton operatives who work the small proportion of mills still remaining within the bounds of Manchester the spinners, minders, reelers, reed-makers, and the rest; here are the calico-printers and dyers, the warehousemen and lurrymen; and here too are the sellers of 'fents, and all the other thousand and one small trades and occupations which live on and by the poor.
