Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hired Baby With Other Stories and Social Sketches It was a dark, desolate December night - a night that clung to the metropolis like a wet black shroud, - a night in which the heavy, low-hanging vapours melted every now and then into a slow reluctant rain, cold as icicle drops in a rock-cavern. People passed and repassed in the streets like ghosts in a bad dream; the yellow twinkling gaslight showed them at one moment rising out of the fog and then disappearing from view as though suddenly engulfed in a vaporous ebon sea. With muffled angry shrieks, the metropolitan trains deposited their shoals of shivering, coughing travellers at the several stations, where sleepy officials, rendered vicious by the inclement weather, snatched the tickets from their hands with offensive haste and roughness.
