Let us move on nine years. London was fifteen hundred years old, and a great city - for that time. A hundred thousand people or more lived there. The streets were very narrow and dirty, and the houses were made of wood.
The Canty family lived in a small, old house in a very dirty called offal Court. Other terribly poor families lived there, too, and the Cantys had one room. The mother and father had a bed in the corner; but Tom and two sisters, Bet and nan, slept on the floor.
Bet and nan were kind girls, and their mother was like them. But their father was a terrible man. He was a thief and beggar. Tom had to go begging every day, and when he came home with nothing, his father always hit him. But little Tom was not unhappy. His life was not unusual: all the father in Offal Court were bab to their children and hit them. At night, Tom's kind mother often brought him a piece of bread.
