• "Here provisions of every kind are supplemented by such luxuries as jellied eels and tiny saucers of whelks and cockles, while a rich harvest is gleaned by less honest traders who exhibit a miscellany of old iron, enamel ware, and worn-out clothing, which they manage with verbal skill to foist on to simple-minded customers."
