Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Doubloons That monster, London, was just lying down to rest. The clocks of the Strand churches and the Strand hotels, keeping nocturnal vigil, showed a quarter to one under the February moon. Through the window´s of closed public-houses could be seen barmen, who, with sleep in their eyes and dusters in their hands, were endeavouring to wipe away the last stain from their counters. The Strand was inhabited chiefly by policemen engaged in the examination of shop-doors, and omnibuses that had the air of hurrying home for fear of being late; a Carter Paterson van, obviously out for the night, rumbled along at leisure. In the courtyards of the two great hotels a few hansoms, with their glaring yellow orbs, waited, waited for august patrons, while haughty commissionaires ignored contemptuous cabmen.
