"There is an Infant Office to aid these women towards a pathetic appearance. One woman hired no less than four infants for the day. Two she packed behind her like a Scotch pedlar's budget; the third was to run by her side bawling for victuals; the fourth she held in her arms like a tuneable instrument to be set to music when she came in view of any seemingly well disposed people."
Archie Pullen is a fictional character I created for my novel about Dick Turpin (currently being prepared for publication). I am at present providing Pullen with his own 18th century detective novel/revenger's tragedy spin-off. The material about him in this blog is copyrighted to Rebecca Riley. Watch this space to see more about Pullen as the new novel develops.
