Ten years laster,a boyran down a dark little street, somewhere near London Bridge. He had no shoes. His clothes were old. He was thin and dirty. He stopped at an old house and run up the stairs to the top. This was Tom Canty and he lived with his family-his father,mother,two sister and his grandmother. They lived in one room. Tom's father slept in a bed; the other slept on the floor. They were paupers.
