Chapter XVIII
THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL. In every city where splendor abounds and wealth rolls in carriages, can be found, also, squalor and wretchedness. If the rich have their avenues, and the good and virtuous their sanctuaries, so have the poor their by-ways and alleys, and the vicious their haunts. In a great city there is room for all, and a place for everything. Papa and Mamma Francoise had left their abiding-place in the slums for a refuge even more secure.
