Asmuch mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired fromthe face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet aMegalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantinelizard up Holborn Hill. Smoke lowering down from chimney-pots,making a soft Evening Gown Dress black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big asfull-grown snowflakesgone into mourning, one might imagine, forthe death of the sun. Dogs, undistinguishable in mire. Horses,scarcely better; splashed to their very blinkers.
