Excerpt from The Bawlerout Charker and Company, bankers to the poor, were making loans. In the dim light, on a row of chairs, sat in furtive unease a motorman whose dirty, coin-stained hands turned a cap from which he had removed a number, a policeman who had dropped the law's majesty from his broad shoulders somewhere outside of Charker and Company's door, a pale man with old lines in a young face, and a woman with red, work-misshapen hands and eyes that said plainly they were wept empty. At a desk in the darkest corner sat a stout woman, excessively clean, excessively corseted, with hot-colored hair and cold-colored eyes. Beside the desk was placed a chair, and in this chair had just sat down a young man who had come seeking a loan from Charker and Company for the first time.
