Stories By English Authors In London is a collection of short stories written by various English authors, all set in the bustling metropolis of London. The stories explore different aspects of life in the city, from the glamorous world of high society to the gritty reality of the working-class neighborhoods. The authors include well-known names such as Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as lesser-known writers whose works are no less captivating. The stories cover a range of themes, from love and romance to crime and mystery, and provide a fascinating glimpse into London life during different periods of history. Whether you are a fan of classic literature or simply enjoy a good story, Stories By English Authors In London is sure to delight and entertain.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 twinkling gas-light 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 travelers at the several stations, where sleepy officials, rendered vicious by the weather, snatched the tickets from their hands with offensive haste and roughness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
