1) Long ago it was said that “one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.” That was true then. It did not know because it did not care. The half that was on top cared little for (1)the struggles and less for the fate of those (2)who were underneath so long as it was able (3)to hold them there and kept its own seat. There came a time when the discomfort and crowding below were so great, and the consequent upheavals so violent, (4)that it is no longer an easy thing to do, and then the upper half fell to inquiring what was the matter. Information on the subject has been accumulating rapidly since, and the whole world has had its hands full answering for its old ignorance.

1) THE house where little Nell and her grandfather (31)lived was one of those places where old and (32)curious things were kept, one of those old houses which seem to crouch in odd corners of the town, and to hide their musty treasures from the public eye in jealousy and distrust. [A] There were suits of mail (33)while they were surely standing like ghosts in armor, (34)here and there; curious carvings brought from monkish cloisters; rusty weapons of various kinds; distorted figures in china, and wood, and iron, and ivory; tapestry, and strange furniture that (35)might have been design in dreams; and in the old, dark, dismal rooms there lived alone together the man and a child—his grandchild, Little Nell. Solitary and dull (36)as were her life, the innocent and cheerful spirit of the child found happiness in all things, and through the dim rooms of the old curiosity shop Little Nell went singing, moving with lightsome step.[B]

2) Tellson’s Bank by Temple Bar was an old-fashioned place, (46)while in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty.[A] It was very small, very dark, very ugly, very incommodious. It (47)was an old-fashioned place, moreover, in the moral attribute that the partners in the House were proud of its smallness, proud of its darkness, proud of its ugliness, proud of its incommodiousness. [B] They were even boastful of its eminence in those particulars, and were (48)fired with an express conviction that, if it were less objectionable, it would be less respectable. This was no passive (49)belief, an active weapon which they flashed at more convenient places of business. Tellson’s (they said) wanted no elbow-room, Tellson’s wanted no light, Tellson’s wanted no embellishment. Noakes and Co.‘s might or Snooks Brothers’ might; but Tellson’s, thank Heaven—!
