“Mmm,” Tally growled. “Just wait till I get my hands on her!”

AUTHOR’S NOTE

The novel,
Town Bronze
, discussed herein, is modeled loosely on a rollicking adventure story written by one Pierce Egan, entitled
Life in London
. From the day it was published in 1820, it was a smash hit, and it continued to entertain the English public for decades. Its graceless heroes, Tom and Jerry, have become part of the lexicon of the language.
