Women and children found themselves increasingly banned from factory and industrial work in the later years of the nineteenth century, but they continued to struggle for a living in unregulated trades. Henry Mayhew, who observed the poor of London, gave this account of flowersellers in 1851:
Sunday is the best day for flowerselling . . . in the height and pride of the summer four hundred children were selling flowers on Sundays in the streets. The trade is almost entirely in the hands of children, the girls outnumbering the boys by more than eight to one. The ages of the girls vary from six twenty, few of the boys are older than twelve, and most of them are under ten.
Of flowergirls there are two classes. Some girls, and they are certainly the smaller class of the two, avail themselves to the sale of flowers in the streets for immoral purposes, or rather, they seek to eke out the small gains of their trade by such practices. Their ages are from fourteen to nineteen or twenty, and sometimes they remain out offering their flowers until late at night.
The other class of flowergirls is composed of girls who, wholly or partially, depend upon the sale of flowers for their own support or as an assistance for their parents. They are generally very persevering, more especially the younger children, who will run along barefooted, with their, 'Please, gentleman, do buy my flowers. Poor little girl!' or 'Please kind lady, buy my violets. O, do! please! Poor little girl! Do buy a bunch, please, kind lady!'

" mom, i think you should let red have sweets during the holidays. it's only fair. "
perhaps there’s a glimmer of amusement laced within the answering look she casts toward her, though not enough to dispel the general sense of disapproval that accompanies the silent hike of her brow. it’s obvious that she assumes collusion even without physical proof of it ----- he’s not here for her to scour his features in search of said proof, so she’ll settle with the gut suspicion of it and condemn him mentally, anyways. guilty until proven innocent. ❛ anne. ❜ given name is uttered with a chiding fondness only she could perfect, punctuated by a soft tut of tongue against palette. ❛ the two of you act as though i’m starving him. all i ask is for a little restraint. is that so terrible of me ? ❜

" you can't just keep ordering bouquets under random names ! i know it's you ! "
A SITUATION TO BE PLAYED DELICATELY. brows lift ever so subtly as he gently folds the paper he’d been perusing — stern jaws set with moderating concern. ah and just a dash of polite confusion. ❝ you seem upset. sit down , there’s tea in the pot — chamomile. it’s good for blood pressure. ❞ she’ll find he CAN do a great many things. he tends to be talented that way.
