ragpicker, n.All

The Ragpicker (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the most provocative figure of human misery — a ragtag proletarian twice over, clothed in rags and occupied with rags.

The Ragpicker (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a jerky gait not necessarily from wine: every few steps he must stop to gather refuse and toss it into his basket.
