So great was the concourse of people to visit the house in Camberwell Lane, where Greenacre murdered Hannah Brown, in 1837, that it was found necessary to station a strong detachment of police on the spot.
What we had brought home from Camberwell was the measles, and as soon as the grown-ups recognised the Grim Intruder for the fell disease it is we all went to bed, and there was an end of active adventure for some time.
I laughed in chorus, and then glancing at my watch, said: "I'll wait for him, if he will be here at ten. I'd much like to see him again." The Russian was by no means nonplused, but merely remarked "He is late sometimes, but not often. He lives on the other side of London over at Camberwell."
Only ostlers, pugilists, and such as yourself, George, would stoop to do such a thing! Oh, monstrous! No, no, Julia m'dear, you mistake; to "strip" is a term o' the "fancy" milling, d'ye see fibbing is a very gentlemanly art, assure you; I went three rounds with the "Camberwell Chicken" before I Have done with your chickens, sir B'gad, he nearly did for me naked mauleys, you'll understand.

"What they see in 'im!" whispered the astounded Mr. Thompson to his wife. "And did you marry the beautiful girl in the photograph?" demanded Mrs. Boxer, in trembling accents. "I did," said her husband. "Hussy," cried Mrs. Boxer. "I married her," said Mr. Boxer, considering "I married her at Camberwell, in eighteen ninety-three."

"Here we are! 'Ralph Daverill, alias Thornton, alias Wix, alias! ..." "Never mind his ale-houses, Jerry. That's the name I'm consarned with Daverill.... What's the matter with M'riar?"
If you was to pull that 'andle to the right, it would slide along same as this one. Only I expect there's somebody in the room there. "I rewarded Mr. Towler with half a sovereign, which he evidently thought liberal, and he departed gleefully. Shortly afterwards I learned that he had 'got a stretch' in connection with a 'job' at Camberwell; and he vanished from my ken.
Among his boy companions were also the three Silverthornes, his neighbours at Camberwell, and cousins on the maternal side. They appear to have been wild youths, and had certainly no part in his intellectual or literary life; but the group is interesting to his biographer.

Elder Charles W. Penrose, of the Council of the Twelve, was chosen to succeed John Henry Smith in the First Presidency, December 7, 1911. President Penrose was born February 4, 1832, at Camberwell, London, England. When he was four years old he could read the Bible. At eighteen he joined the Church, and being so well versed in the scriptures he was soon called on a mission.
And the sight of the northern slums expanded and ennobled, but did not decrease, my gloom: Whitechapel has an Oriental gaudiness in its squalor; Battersea and Camberwell have an indescribable bustle of democracy; but the poor parts of North London... well, perhaps I saw them wrongly under that ashen morning and on that foolish errand.
