Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Lazaro, son of a washerwoman, apprentice to a blind beggar, servant in turn to many masters and starved by them all, spends the earlier part of his life in a miserable conflict with hunger, and the latter in a replete and greasy satisfaction. He reaches the summit of his ambition as a petty government official, growing fat on the corrupt profits of an inspectorship of wine, and we leave him at the close a marl complaisant in the house of an Archpriest in Toledo, wedded to one of his master’s servant girls, and enjoying to the full his favour, his dinners, and his cast shoes.
