But there is a numerous tribe whose labours are never done, or are not subject to the laws which regulate the business world, and whose traffic thrives best when the streets are fullest. They cannot afford to take a holiday : too many hoKdays are thrust upon them; and when the public are abroad, and that portion of the public in particular who are their special patrons, they must be up and doing, or suffer the consequences of idleness. The industrial hordes who labour for their daily bread are ...themselves, in their turn, the patrons and paymasters of another distinct and nomadic horde, who hang upon their skirts wherever they are to be foimd, and, like the lowest orders of the animal creation, derive support and nutriment from sources which, by the unreflecting, are often ignorantly despised and undervalued. Let us wander this fine evening through a furlong or two of that long route which, like the Boulevards of Paris, girdles 884 TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OF LONDON STRBBTS. the metropolis on its northern and eastern sides, and glance for a brief space at a few of these peripatetic professors— these commercial Bedouins, who peacefully waylay the mon- ster caravan that nightly files off along this well-known track in the desert of London.
