Ask for ‘Carrots’ and ‘Ginger’ in Petticoat Lane and you will directed to the corner of Wentworth St., where you will find them presiding over a shell-fish and lettuce stall.
An indespensible part of the equipment is a pail of beer which is frequently replenished in the pub opposite. The pail contains ‘Ginger’s’ wages, for the only payment he asks, for his Sunday morning’s work – As much beer as he can drink !
