This was so much fouler, with its\u003cbr\u003edirt and noise, its stands of refuse fruit and vegetables, its dingy\u003cbr\u003eshops and all the miserable traffic that the place engendered, its\u003cbr\u003erickety doorways blocked with lounging men, its Blowsabellas leaning on\u003cbr\u003ethe window-sills, that the Court seemed by contrast a most desirable and\u003cbr\u003eretired place of residence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it was a dismal spot, nevertheless, with not even an air of faded\u003cbr\u003egentility to recommend it. It seemed to have no better days behind it,\u003cbr\u003enor to hold within itself the possibility of any future improvement. It\u003cbr\u003ewas narrow, and extended only the length of a city block, yet it was by\u003cbr\u003eno means wanting in many of those luxuries which mark this era of modern\u003cbr\u003ecivilization. There were groceries, with commodious sample-rooms\u003cbr\u003eattached, at each corner, and a small saloon, called \"The Dearest Spot\"\u003cbr\u003e(which it undoubtedly was in more senses than one), in the basement of a\u003cbr\u003ehouse at the farther end. It was necessary, however, for the bibulous\u003cbr\u003enative who dwelt in the middle of the block to waste some valuable\u003cbr\u003eminutes in dragging himself to one of these fountains of bliss at either\u003cbr\u003eend; but at the time my story opens a wide-awake philanthropist was\u003cbr\u003efitting up a neat and attractive little bar-room, called \"The Oasis,\" at\u003cbr\u003ea point equally distant between the other two springs of human joy.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156150763760,"sku":"2940013803381","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013803381_p0.jpg?v=1763599484","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013803381","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
