Paper 1. Q. 1. (By a Portuguese boy.) London streets are the richest and the poorest, grandest and dirtiest, clean and filthy.
As the population is divided into two parts, same with the streets into two classes. There are beautiful roads, broad busy streets with undescribable numbers of different carts, hackney, coaches, omnibuses, busy men and ille men, all thronged the streets.
The streets in London are quiet, quiet as death from early dawn, but towards inorning carts start to rattle along the paths carrying vegetables from the country into the market, later on at 9 a.m. the streets again are as crowded as the previous day: inen go the offices, ladies throng the shops, boys going to schools and all secined bright and full of life.
Towards noon-Lunch. The Restaurants are flocked, cafés are crowded with men and women of all sizes, differences in visages and in language.
