In this piece from Cageell's Saturday Journal, Livingstone recounts various figures at century’s end who improvise to survive. A barrister slogs from Covent Garden market to the Temple, a Somerset Town coffee stall keeper feeds a family from peddled pies, a rising author works as a broker’s man, and a detective earns extra wages at balls.
