that matter; but why under the sun do they open the gates of the parks at
five o'clock in the morning and let the homeless ones go inside and sleep?
If it is their intention to deprive them of sleepwhy do they let them sleep
after five in the morning? And if it is not their intention to deprive them
of sleepwhy don't they let them sleep earlier in the night?
In this connectionI will say that I came by Green Park that same day
at one in the afternoonand that I counted scores of the ragged wretches
asleep in the grass. It was Sunday afternoonthe sun was fitfully
appearingand the well-dressed West Enderswith their wives and
progenywere out by thousandstaking the air. It was not a pleasant
sight for themthose horribleunkemptsleeping vagabonds; while the
vagabonds themselvesI knowwould rather have done their sleeping the
night before.
And sodear soft peopleshould you ever visit London Townand see
these men asleep on the benches and in the grassplease do not think they
are lazy creaturespreferring sleep to work. Know that the powers that
be have kept them walking all the night longand that in the day they have
nowhere else to sleep.
