My Pleasure
“From there, they entered the broad, brightly lit Grand Walk.
Here the clandestine atmosphere gave way to a festive one. A monkey leapt from his trainer’s shoulder to steal the feathers from ladies’ hair and return them with a bow as he held out a small tin cup for a coin. Jugglers wove through the multitudes, and cartmen selling cakes and savories rolled along the avenues while boys laboring under great canisters of arrack punch strapped to their backs hawked mugfuls for half a bob.
Hel...ena drank it all in, the color, the noise, the scents of garlic and perfume, wood smoke and bakery goods underscored by the briny stench rising from the Thames. People of all sorts and sizes, some richly costumed and others covered by cheap dominos, sauntered by, laughing and joking, listening to the various musicians, watching the mummery shows, and pausing to inspect the elaborate dioramas.
Helena could not help but notice that as many women covertly inspected Ramsey Munro as they did the exhibits.MoreLess
