Excerpt from The Devil's Discharge

The solitude was appalling. Besides the rain it was the one hour when London sleeps, between late cabs and early carts. Not a living thing was anywhere. The wet street glistened like ice in the glimmer of the lamps. Across the bridge stood the dripping bronze groups of Commerce and Agriculture. The illuminated clock, beyond the tower of City Temple, looked like a fog-soaked moon. Be yond the bridge blinked the four lights about the equestrian figure at the end of the Viaduct. In the Opposite direction a blurred glow indi cated the front of the railway station.
