Synopsis

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents except at occasional intervals when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies) rattling along the house-tops and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
