Evidence:
'While out to-night we purchased Whitford's stories of "Under the Dray". There is not much in them but they are decidedly readable & very good for sixpence. Harry commenced "The Larrikin's Story" & was of course immensely interested in it particularly as it was a kind of reading in which his mother thought it wrong for him to get a hold of.'
