Look at honest Nathan Houndsditch and his lady, and their little son. What a noble air of blazing contentment illuminates the features of those Snobs of Eastern race! What a toilette Houndsditch's is!
On his submission and request for his writings, they accordingly delivered them up, let him pass and helped him to his watch again, being in the hands of Mr. Corket, a pawnbroker in Houndsditch.
On the run of the season's play Houndsditch Wednesday v. Manchester United should have been the two most evenly-matched teams in the history of the game. Forward, the latter held a slight superiority; but this was balanced by the inspired goal-keeping of Clarence Tresillian. Even the keenest supporters of either side were not confident.
Ealing Houndsditch Buckingham Admiralty War Office. Closing." They stared at him, mystified. "I suppose it does make sense," said Dick. "But what on earth does it mean, Harry? "Oh, can't you see?" cried Harry. "Von Wedel is a commander of some sort that's plain, isn't it? And he's to carry out a raid, destroying or attacking the places that are mentioned!

They could not keep the score down. From start to finish Houndsditch were a beaten side. London during that black period was a desert. Gloom gripped the City. In distant Brixton red-eyed wives faced silently-scowling husbands at the evening meal, and the children were sent early to bed. Newsboys called the extras in a whisper.
