London, denne store kloakk hvor alle lediggjengere og dagdrivere i imperiet trekkes ned.
En studie i rødt (1888), kap. 1.
London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.
I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore as free as air—or as free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be. Under such circumstances, I naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.
