Chapter 13 of Book The Third. The Road To Ruin - Some Of The Adventures Which Befel Monsieur Emile Vautrin During Ten Years Of His Life

The expressed goal of this book is to "write a truthful account of the miseries of criminal life" (from the preface). Thus, this book tells the story of Philip, a child who grew up in the workhouse until running away to navigate the streets of London on his own. "Paved With Gold", or, the Romance and Reality of the London Streets is one of the most vivid books you would ever read. So hold tight and enjoy the ride. - Summary by Stav Nisser
