Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Soldier and a Gentleman It was an unusually hot week of the uncertain month of July. The heavens were as brass, and the elements seemed melting with fervent heat There was not a breath of air to suggest coolness. The leaves of the trees in the parks looked scorched, the grass was parched and brown, and the ornamental waters appeared stagnant and unwholesome. Throughout all London the bricks were baking, and the people sweltering in the direct and reflected sunshine; but nowhere was the heat more fetid and stifling than about Soho. The atmosphere was charged not only with the exhalations of a poor and densely-packed population, but also with the odours of neglected refuse, vegetable and other, in the courts and the streets.
