Read the following passage from The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.
One January day, on his usual begging tour, he tramped despondently up and down the region about Mincing Lane and Little East Cheap, hour after hour, bare-footed and cold, looking in at cook-shop windows and longing for the dreadful pork-pies and other deadly inventions displayed there—for to him these were dainties fit for the angels; that is, judging by the smell, they were—for it had never been his good luck to own and eat one. There was a drizzle of rain; the atmosphere murky; it was a melancholy day.
