Street Urchin

When Ma dies, Adrean is left with the following: the clothes on his back, a single patched-up coat, a small purse with a modest assortment of coins, and an old well-worn mask. He's a small boy of seven—clever, certainly, but not clever enough—and the coins go before he's quite sure what happened to them, spent on sweet rolls and chocolate now that Ma isn't here to scold him about moderation. When his maths finally catch up he keeps a tighter grip over his remaining shilling and pennies byt the damage is done. He has never missed Ma quite as much as he missed her in that startlingly bleak moment of clarity.

Adrean's got a sharp eye for the nooks and crannies and hidden spaces in the shadows—inherited from Ma—but astoundingly clumsy hands—that were most definitely not inherited from Ma—and so he is a dismal thief. For a time he's lucky and manages to fall into line behind a group of older boys who take to the streets in droves like lean and hungry rats. They pilfer the pockets that Adrean finds with the savagery of pirates. Adrean survives on the scraps of generosity these older bullies dish out for months, and it's not the best life, or a good life, or even a passably decent one, but it's a life, so that's something.

But the adults seem to cotton onto their scheme, because first Johnny, then Thomas, then Al'n'Ed get caught by the constable. Adrean, bright eye'd and clumsy with his hands but a shot on his feet, darts just out of reach of the copper's stubby fingers and swinging bat and melts away into the crowded streets.

In winter, Adrean's thread-bare coat gets even thinner, and the edges of Ma's mask crack with the cold. It had never quite managed to sit well on Adrean's face, but now it is worse. And yet, by a grand stroke of luck and misfortune, Adrean lands a job.

It's not a glamorous job. It's not even a very good job.
