Over troubled water?

That’s an excellent suggestion Tilly, thank you!

Is 31 written properly?
' into to' doesn't sound right

[Beaky2369]

Sorry no it should be. ‘ he went into the sewer to find work unlike others’ (6).
Thank you for pointing this out.

//A tosher is someone who scavenges in the sewers, a sewer-hunter, especially in London during the Victorian era. The word tosher was also used to describe the thieves who stripped valuable copper from the hulls of ships moored along the Thames.//
