Johnny Greer was sitting just in front of me. A ragged street-boy, with eager eye, turned upon him instantly, and said in a hoarse whisper "'No; but did you, though? "'Yes. "'Towed the carkiss ashore and saved it yo'self? "'Yes. "'Cracky! What did they give you? "'Nothing. I'd 'a' anchored him out in the stream, and said, Five dollars, gents, or you carn't have yo' nigger."
He was an excellent raconteur when he talked of the things he knew well. He had an unconscious habit of springing from his seat and acting his scenes as he depicted them, laughing and using street-boy phrasing: "It's just like a tale," Miss Alicia would breathe, enraptured as he jumped from one story to another. "It's exactly like a wonderful tale."
A small street-boy at his run along the pavement nowhither, distanced him altogether in the race for the great Secret; precipitating the thought, that the conscious are too heavily handicapped. The unburdened unconscious win the goal. Ay, but they leave no legacy.
Finding this rather tedious, after a time it went, with much of the spirit of a London street-boy, and, passing close to the shrimp, tweaked the end of one of its feelers, causing that volatile creature to vanish.
All ranks are orderly; the spirit of aggression seems not to exist among them, and the very boys and dogs in Venice are so well-behaved, that I have never seen the slightest disposition in them to quarrel. Of course, it is of the street-boy the biricchino, the boy in his natural, unreclaimed state that I speak.
I have quite a sympathy, a sort o' feller-feelin', for that Count. He seems to me the wictim of a secret sorrow." Susan looked at her small admirer with surprise, and then burst into a hearty laugh. "You're a queer boy, Gillie." To an unsophisticated country girl like Susan Quick, the London street-boy must indeed have seemed a remarkable being.
It delighted his admiring listeners to see him suddenly leap over the counter and rush out into the street to have a brush with a passing street-boy; also to see him calmly return to tie the string on a package or to finish measuring a piece of cloth. Was it not quite natural that he should be the favorite of the whole town?
When next the street-boy sorrowfully exclaims on your passing that 'it's no wonder the barbers all 'list for soldiers, or some puny idiot at your club a lilliputian model of popular 'manhood' sniggers to his friend behind his coffee as you come in: call to mind pictures of certain brave 'tailed men' of old, at the winking of whose eyelid your tiny club 'man' would have expired on the instant.
However, if I feel a little independent when I look around this table to-day, and reflect how little I thought of marrying Tom Gradgrind's daughter when I was a ragged street-boy, who never washed his face unless it was at a pump, and that not oftener than once a fortnight, I hope I may be excused. So, I hope you like my feeling independent; if you don't, I can't help it. I do feel independent.
During the swimming hour I watched the genitals of the boys, comparing them carefully in the most minute details. Circumcised organs affected me as being disagreeable, and men's hairy, coarse genitals I abhorred. When 13 I became acquainted with the new mail-boy at the inn. He was a city "street-boy," and got me into smoking cigarettes occasionally.
