“But this "progress" in psychiatry had gone hand in hand with what, to many, seemed to be the pathologising of perfectly ordinary human weirdness.”

“The Morning Advertiser gave regular bulletins about missing children after the arrests of Bishop, Williams and May: Caroline
Brand, eight, of Wolverley Street, Hackney Road, sent out by her parents to sell bundles of firewood
one evening, and not seen again, just as her thirteen-year-old brother had disappeared, five months before; and Henry Borroff, a five-year-old of Hoxton Old Town — gone.”

“A cultural chasm between the giver and the given-to made many of the poorest unwilling to ask for help: if bread, clothing, boots, medical aid, coal and candles were to be accompanied by a sermon, a lecture, an intrusive questioning of the applicant's life history — well, perhaps the hunger and cold would be bearable for a little longer. So they continued to fall to their deaths in the crevasses between the Poor Law and philanthropy.”
