Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


The streets grew very quiet and lonely after the theatre crowd had gone
home. Only were to be seen the ubiquitous policemen, flashing their dark
lanterns into doorways and alleys, and men and women and boys taking
shelter in the lee of buildings from the wind and rain. Piccadilly,
however, was not quite so deserted. Its pavements were brightened by
well-dressed women without escort, and there was more life and action
there than elsewhere, due to the process of finding escort. But by three
o'clock the last of them had vanished, and it was then indeed lonely.
