By weird contrast, the windows in Field Lane were a dazzling display of brightly coloured silk handkerchiefs (‘wipes’); if the commentators of the day are to be believed, the vast majority of these were stolen, by gangs of young – often extremely young – ‘snotter-haulers’, who would soon be incarnated in the popular imagination as the Artful Dodger (though Dickens used the more polite slang term, ‘fogle-hunters’).

I think I'll have to have a read of this book! It sounds really interesting.
Am I the only one that thinks it sounds like the end titles from Blade Runner?
Are you making that judgment off the sample or the whole track ? Bladerunner end titles is my favourite track off the Bladerunner ost. I can't hear the comparison from the sample but it would be very cool if the full track had elements of the Bladerunner end titles track.

He told me he was in the same game
We both talked the same body language
On New Gate Street we saw the hanging
Of a Resurrectionist

hanging from tree or from street lamp?or is it an advertisment?
