29、中期的伦敦对于穷人和富人来说都是座满是污秽的城市。尽管在晴朗的天气里也有麻雀和海鸥在高空中飞翔，但是更多的时候从烟囱里冒出的浓浓烟雾往往使人窒息。泰晤士河被污染，引起了各地的疾病甚至是死亡；如果你掉进河里，咽下河水是非常危险的。伦敦的东区是贫民区，那里的孩子衣衫褴褛，妇女们则在垃圾堆里寻找食物。几乎没有人指望能维持基本的生活水平。很多人遭受营养不良之苦，甚至因缺乏食物而饿死；然而伦敦纳税人并不关注他们的福利。来自各地港口的船只会在伦敦重要的港口停留。河的南岸有另外一个贫民区，Southwark。乔治客栈是沿岸繁忙的长途车站，它向离开伦敦的旅人和带货物到城里的行人提供食物和住宿。但有一些伦敦人通
