The Mile-end House of Decay and a Boy’s Illicit Dream
In a dilapidated Mile-end tenement a sick boy in the last stages of consumption lies on a patchwork bed while his sister tends him amid squalor and drunken father.

The tale ends with dawn over the aged house and the boy asleep with a radiant smile, the sister weeping.
