Had our friend chanced to get amongst trades-people, he might have found Mr Kerr, the eminent goldsmith in the Parliament Square, stowing his menage into a couple of small rooms above his boothlike shop, plastered against the wall of St Giles's Church ; the nursery and kitchen, however, being placed in a cellar under the level of the street, where the children are said to have rotted...
