In one scene in this novel a one-legged character compares a dead bird to Cock Robin just before it is roasted on a spit.  A friend of the protagonist, Eugene, eventually marries the drifter's daughter Lizzie, and the central villain is kicked out of the house and into a garbage cart by the Golden Dustman. An affidavit from Rogue Riderhood clears suspicion of murder from Gaffer Hexam in this work, and that murder's investigator is a lawyer named Lightwood. The taxidermist Venus joins up with a greedy street peddler named Wegg to blackmail another character in this novel.
