beneath the protection of a nights
ephemereal cover, they brought
news of the hideous, bright day; to

dawn blacker than sable night. To
many of the rich they brought a
besom to sweep away what had been
theirs while the stars shone; to the
poor they brought-another day.
All over the city the cries were
starting up, keen and sonorous,
heralding the chances that the slip
