Libba Bray Quote

Spare a copper for our cause? the girl with the coin cup asks, her voice weary. I can spare more than that, I say. I reach into my purse and giver her what real coins I have, and then I press my hand to hers and whisper, Don't give up, watching the magic spark in her eyes.The tragedy of the Beardon's Bonnet Factory! she shouts, a fire catching. Six souls murdered for a profit! Will you let it stand, sir? Will you look away, m'um?Her sisters-in-arms raise their placards again. Fair wages, fair treatment! they call. Justice!Their voices swell into a chorus that thunders through the dark London streets until it can no longer be ignored.
