To Miners, Whose Gold-Fever Had Not Reached A Ridiculous Degree Of Heat, Blugsey's Was Certainly A Very Satisfactory Location. The Dirt Was Rich, The River Ran Dry, There Was Plenty Of Standing-Room On The Banks, Which Were Devoid Of Rocks, The Storekeeper Dealt Strictly On The Square, And The Saloon Contained A Pleasing Variety Of Consolatory Fluids, Which Were Dispensed By Stumpy Flukes, Ex-Sailor, And As Hearty A Fellow As Any One Would Ask To See.

On The Night Of Friday, The 26Th Of November, 1703, And At The Hour Of Eleven, The Door Of A Miserable Habitation, Situated In an Obscure Quarter Of The Borough Of Southwark, Known As The Old Mint, Was Opened; And A Man, With A Lantern In His Hand, Appeared At The Threshold. This Person, Whose Age Might Be About Forty, Was Attired In a Brown Double-Breasted Frieze Coat, With Very Wide Skirts, And A Very Narrow Collar; A Light Drugget Waistcoat, With Pockets Reaching To The Knees; Black Plush Breeches; Grey Worsted Hose; And Shoes With Round Toes, Wooden Heels, And High Quarters, Fastened By Small Silver Buckles. He Wore A Three-Cornered Hat, A Sandy-Coloured Scratch Wig, And Had A Thick Woollen Wrapper Folded Round His Throat. His Clothes Had Evidently Seen Some Service, And Were Plentifully Begrimed With The Dust Of The Workshop. Still He Had A Decent Look, And Decidedly The Air Of One Well-To-Do In The World. In Stature, He Was Short And Stumpy; In Person, Corpulent; And In countenance, Sleek, Snub-Nosed, And Demure. Immediately Behind This Individual, Came A Pale, Poverty-Stricken Woman, Whose Forlorn Aspect Contrasted Strongly With His Plump And Comfortable Physiognomy. She Was Dressed In a Tattered Black Stuff Gown, Discoloured By Various Stains, And Intended, It Would Seem, From The Remnants Of Rusty Crape With Which It Was Here And There Tricked Out, To Represent The Garb Of Widowhood, And Held In Her Arms A Sleeping Infant, Swathed In The Folds Of A Linsey-Woolsey Shawl.
