Poverty to prosperity in Victorian England (how did they do it?) Cunning characters enact the way to wealth, often from the humblest beginnings. Two women scrub stone steps on their knees. One becomes rich. Why? Every page drops golden coins. This story presents flower-seller Fedelia, making her life with pennies. In her rented slum room she prepares a plan to snatch success. Poetry and eccentric advertisements.
