Description
The adventures of a gutter-born Fleet Street journalist of uncertain gender. "Are you a boy or a girl?" "I dunno." "You don't know!" "What is your name?" "Tommy." "Tommy what?" "Anything you like. I dunno. I've had so many of 'em." "What do you want? What have you come for?" "You're Mr. Hope, ain't you, second floor, 16, Gough Square?" "That is my name." "You want somebody to do for you?" "You mean a housekeeper!" "Didn't say anything about housekeeper. Said you wanted somebody to do for you--cook and clean the place up. Heard 'em talking about it in the shop this afternoon. Old lady in green bonnet was asking Mother Hammond if she knew of anyone." "Mrs. Postwhistle--yes, I did ask her to look out for someone for me. Why, do you know of anyone? Have you been sent by anybody?" "You don't want anything too 'laborate in the way o' cooking? You was a simple old chap, so they said; not much trouble." "No--no. I don't want much--someone clean and respectable. But why couldn't she come herself? Who is it?" "Well, what's wrong about me?" "I beg your pardon," said Mr. Peter Hope. "Why won't I do? I can make beds and clean rooms--all that sort o' thing. As for cooking, I've got a natural aptitude for it. You ask Emma; she'll tell you. You don't want nothing 'laborate?"
