Gadshill, where Charles Dickens lived
before his death, that he made the ac-
quaintance of the various tramps and
showmen we read of in his works

often made up of many sorrows. The
great novelist's knowledge Of gypsy
wanderers and loafeTs was unbounded,
and many a half hour he spent In
their company within a stones throw
