There is a good deal of grossness, no doubt, here and there in this direction among the masses; but there are no male prostitutes (that I am aware of) whose regular clients are manual workers.

This kind of prostitution in London is common enough, but I have only a slight personal knowledge of it.

Many youths are 'kept' handsomely in apartments by wealthy men, and they are, of course, not always inaccessible to others.

Many keep themselves in lodgings by this means, and others eke out scanty wages by the same device: just like women, in fact.

Choirboys reinforce the ranks to a considerable extent, and private soldiers to a large extent.
