## Summary

Fancy a dingy old brick house on B---- street, New York city--dusty outside and moldy in all its ragged, papered walls inside--a dreary house with small, poorly ventilated rooms--these rooms wretchedly furnished, and I have made you at home in “Miss Scrimp’s Boarding-House for ladies only--no gentlemen boarded, lodged, or admitted.”
