Synopsis
Excerpt from At the Door of the Gate
Each house of Myrtle Row had its own little garden, consisting largely of black iron railings and dirt, though the postman's plot, invigorated by a load of manure, had produced an eruption of marigolds and piano roses, as well as an active insect colony. The children of the postman, two pert little girls, guarded this unsavoury oasis jealously. Lizzie Smith, don't you be coming into our garden, or I'll tell my mother on you, y'impudent thing, ye! Was what Mrs. Wilberforce overheard as she passed. The little boys were more generous in their hospitality. They kept sprickleys in tubs, and when there was nothing more exciting on hand would invite one another in to fish for these accommodating creatures.
