Lechmere Re:
Ben is right, and your idea of this place is more Oliver Twist/Old Hovis Ad..
I'm sure that the Sally Army had more or less the same ethos as the Victoria..
Although Orwell was writing at a later date, read what he had to say about being forced to wash in conditions (at a Salvation Army Home) that I 'd rather not wash in..I shouldn't think that things were much different in 1888..
I maintain that such conditions would be foul for Toppy -and he had known better and had a choice.
As far as Hutch goes -are you now telling me that, not only he had access to a private lock up, but he wouldn't attract attntion if he washed himself and his clothes -he was obliged to ??
(this gets better and better)
