He finished dressing, putting on his discriminatingly chosen shabby-genteel clothes with a care for the effect he intended them to produce. The collar and cuffs of his shirt were frayed and yellow, and he fastened his collar with a pin and tied his worn necktie carelessly.

I was surprised by the grittiness of this novella about a suicidal man, a beggar girl, a thief, and a prostitute (or really, is it the story of Miss Montaubyn?), but the way Burnett deals with
