Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harding´s Luck Dickie lived at New Cross. At least the address was New Cross, but really the house where he lived was one of a row of horrid little houses built on the slope where once green fields ran down the hill to the river, and the old houses of the Deptford merchants stood stately in their pleasant gardens and fruitful orchards. All those good fields and happy gardens are built over now. It is as though some wicked giant had taken a big brush full of yellow ochre paint, and another full of mud-colour, and had painted out the green in streaks of dull yellow and filthy brown; and the brown is the roads and the yellow is the houses. Miles and miles and miles of them, and not a green thing to be seen except the cabbages in the greengrocers´ shops, and here and there some poor trails of creeping jenny drooping from a dirty window-sill. There is a little yard at the back of each house; this is called "the garden," and some of these show green - but they only show it to the houses´ back windows. You cannot see it from the street.
