## Summary

_As often as I pass a little Blue-coat boy I gaze upon him lovingly: I reverence the quaint vision of a bygone age called up by the long blue gaberdine, the red leathern belt, the yellow stockings--a quaint monkish figure still to be seen in crowded London streets, still adding to their picturesqueness and ever-varying charm._
