Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Curiosity Shop, Vol. 1
But. My present purpose is not to expatiate upon my walks. The story I am about to relate, arose out of one of these rambles; and thus I have been led to speak of them by way of preface.
One night I had roamed into the city, and was walk ing slowly on in my usual way, musing upon a great many things, when I was arrested by an inquiry the pur port of which did not reach me, but which seemed to be addressed to myself, and was preferred in a soft sweet voice that struck me very pleasantly. I turned hastily round, and found at my elbow a pretty little girl, who begged to be directed to a certain street at a considerable distance, and indeed in quite another quarter of the town.
