| Summary | "Scamp and I: A Story of City By-Ways" by L. T. Meade is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two impoverished children, Dick and Flo, who navigate through the bustling streets of London, yearning for a glimpse of the lavish world they see from afar. The narrative illustrates their adventures and dreams, contrasting their harsh reality with the allure of wealth and the life of the social elite. The opening of the novel introduces the children amidst the lively backdrop of the London season, emphasizing the stark divide between their ragged existence and the opulence surrounding them. Dick, a ten-year-old boy, boldly explores the affluent areas, and later, he urges his younger sister Flo to join him in a fictional play where they pretend to be members of the upper class. Their journey takes them through the gritty streets and culminates in a significant encounter with the Queen, showcasing their innocence and longing. The beginning sets a poignant tone, as it captures both the children's aspirations and the moral dilemmas they face in a society riddled with inequality.
