Product Description
Excerpt from The Rag-Picker of Paris
Victims! Alas, they were of all ages, except infancy, of every sex and of every sort, in dress coats and in blouses, from the embarrassed workman who played his day's pay to the idle millionaire who played the coupon cut from his bond; from the mother of a family who played her children's bread to the father who played their dowry.
