Smoke lowering down from chimney-pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes - gone into mourning, one might imagine, for the death of the sun. Dogs, undistinguishable in mire. Horses, scarcely better ; splashed to their very blinkers.
Página 274 - The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself.

Página 1 - Fog everywhere. Fog up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping, and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city.
Página 111 - Jo has not yet died — in a ruinous place, known to the like of him by the name of Tom-all-Alone's.
