Discussion prompts:

1. Any thoughts on the subject of this part of the book? Does it seem like a description of a specific child, or just specific characteristics that most of these children share?
2. These chapters are very short and sweet. I hope we're not losing anyone here. Personally, I do enjoy these chapters.
3. I'm reading across different translations, and the way each translator phrased things in this part of the book are very different. It kind of makes me wonder why Hapgood uses the term "street Arab" for what Wilbour and Rose refer to as "gamin". I wonder what your translation says?
4. Other points of discussion? Lines that stood out to you?

Final line:

Were Adamaster to appear to him, he would shout out: “Hallo, there, old Bug-a-boo!”
