Summary
"If he'd been around when Emma Lazarus had written that bit about giving her your tired and your poor, Sebastian Shaw would have added "and I will put them to work for as cheap as possible," instead of the part about the lamp and the golden door and liberty and everything."

This was the tenth apartment Merlin had looked at; all the others within his price range were small, poky and dingy. This place looked promising; he knocked on the door and listened to somebody shouting.
