“Wiggins. A good man. She used to wonder whether they existed, where. And there he was, a magnificent drunken white knight, fighting for her on the street, buying her perfume, holding her hand. Gentle and true. Why did he have to be so true? Didn’t he know the poor can’t afford love?”

“The speaker was from the Socialist Party, but over the last few weeks he’d heard a Labour Party speaker, a Communist, trade unionists and various self-proclaimed revolutionary anarchists. They all banged on about the same things, with varying degrees of anger. Not that he disagreed with what they said, it was just cloud-cuckoo in his experience. What employer’s going to give the workers two weeks off a year? There’s plenty of people out of work who want in, Wiggins knew, and so the bosses always get to choose.”

“He worked hard for a living, he told Wiggins, and didn’t expect to have to give it away to the poor. He’d dedicated his life – and his father before him – to blowing safes and why couldn’t the likes of these wasters also learn a trade?”
