RKS Literature: A Step Away from Being a Robber or Vagabond (Charles Dickens)

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , ,

“I know I do not exaggerate, unconsciously and unintentionally, the scantiness of my resources or the difficulties of my life. I know that if a shilling were given to me by Mr. Quinion at any time, I spent it in a dinner or a tea. I know that I worked from morning until night, with common men and boys, a shabby child. I know that I lounged about the streets, insufficiently and unsatisfactorily fed. I know that, but for the mercy of God, I might easily have been, for any care that was given to me, a little robber or vagabond.”

Charles Dickens, “David Copperfield”, 1850.
