The Man who bought London

Bag om The Man who bought London

Night had come to the West End, but though the hour was late, though all Suburbia might at this moment be wrapped in gloom-a veritable desert of deadness relieved only by the brightness and animation of the busy public-houses-the Strand was thronged with a languid crowd all agape for the shady mysteries of the night world, which writers describe so convincingly, but the evidence of which is so often disappointing. Deserted Suburbia had sent its quota to stare at the evil night-life of the Metropolis. That it was evil none doubted. These pallid shop girls clinging to the arms of their protecting swains, these sedate, married ladies, arm in arm with their husbands, these gay young bloods from a thousand homes beyond the radius-they all knew the significance of those two words: "West End.
