That Shakespeare thought little of his success and had no idea that his dramas were the greatest that the world ever produced seems evident from the fact that he made no attempt to collect or publish his works, or even to save his manuscripts, which were carelessly left to stage managers of the theaters, and so found their way ultimately to the ragman.
When they lifted him up they found an empty bottle under him, and when the doctor sniffed at it, he declared that it had contained brandy. That gave a suggestion as to what treatment he would require. They succeeded in rousing him. Isidore was drunk, drunk and degraded by a week of guzzling, drunk and so disgusting that a ragman would not have touched him.

On this Wednesday morning Marcus called McTeague out into the hall, to the head of the stairs that led down to the street door. "Come and listen to Maria, Mac," said he. Maria sat on the next to the lowest step, her chin propped by her two fists. The red-headed Polish Jew, the ragman Zerkow, stood in the doorway. He was talking eagerly. "Now, just once more, Maria," he was saying.
And above the trees shone the great, round, shining face of an illuminated clock in the tower of an antique public building. Prince Michael's shoes were wrecked far beyond the skill of the carefullest cobbler. The ragman would have declined any negotiations concerning his clothes.
Ye might glour an' glunch, but ye'd haave t' laugh before th' finish shure ye wud!" The neighbors began to knock again. Some of the knocks were vocal and as plain as language. Some of the more familiar gaped in the window. "Hes he hed 'is bath yit?" asked McGrath, the ragman. We opened the door and in marched the inhabitants of our vicinity for the second "crack."
When I arrived I saw coming along the street a ragman with a dilapidated old horse, and one of the boys told him to go over on the other side of the road which was the place where the current leaked. When the ragman heard this he took that side at once.
'What was there peculiar about his clothes and his walk? 'Why, his clothes were that old, and torn, and dirty, that a ragman wouldn't have given a thank you for them, and as for fit, there wasn't none, they hung upon him like a scarecrow he was a regular figure of fun; I should think the boys would call after him if they saw him in the street.
I know not what skill is required, yet it needs a pretty eye and even foot. The ragman takes to an ancestral business and chants the ancient song of his fathers. When distance has somewhat muffled its nearer sharpness, the song bears a melody unparalleled among tradesmen's cries. Window glass, too, is hawked pleasantly from house to house and requires but a knife and putty.
He passed the Whitneys and halted. He could rescue hounded cats and tormented dogs, and once had saved a little child from being run over. But to fight in cold blood! "Oh, here comes my Lady Jane!" sang out some one. "She's quite too young To be ruled by your false, flattering tongue." "Sissy, wouldn't your mother mend your coat? Keep out of the way of the ragman!"
