Appearances
Here it is, a wine cellar.
Going down into the door depraved men and lost women.
Some stagger, all blaspheme.
Men with rings in their ears instead of their nose, and blotches of breast pin.
Pictures on the wall cut out of the police gazette.
A slush of beer on floor and counter.
A pistol falls out of a ruffian's pocket, and by the gaslight a knife flashes.
Lo songs.
They banter and jeer and howl and vomit, an awful jail to which hundreds of people better than you have come.
All these different styles of drinking places are multiplying.
They smite a young man's vision at every turn.
They pour the stench of their abomination on every wave of air.
I sketch two houses in this street.
The first is bright as home can be.
The father comes at nightfall and the children run out to meet him.
Luxurious evening meal, congratulation, and sympathy and laughter.
Music in the parlour, fine pictures on the wall, costly books on the stand, well clad household, plenty of everything to make home happy.
House the second.
Piano sold yesterday by the sheriff.
Wife's furs at pawnbroker's shop, clock gone, daughters jewellery sold to get flour, carpets gone off the floor, daughters in faded and patched dresses.
