Whitefriars: Appointment in London (Illustrated) (Memories of London Book 2)

0/5 ( ratings)

Whitefriars, Britain Travel Library - Appointment in London

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show. When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford. Let's see our appointment in Whitefriars, that dull, narrow, uninviting lane sloping from Fleet Street to the river, with gas works at its foot and mean shops on either side was once the centre of a district full of noblemen's mansions; but Time's harlequin wand by and by turned it into a debtors' sanctuary and thieves' paradise, and for half a century its bullies and swindlers waged a ceaseless war with their proud and rackety neighbours of the Temple. The dingy lane, now only awakened by the quick wheel of the swift newspaper cart or the ponderous tires of the sullen coal wagon, was in olden times for ever ringing with clash of swords, the cries of quarrelsome gamblers, and the drunken songs of noisy Bobadils.
