First sentence: As dusk fell the lamplighters with their ladders hurried along the main thoroughfares, dodging the crowds, climbing upwards like monkeys, lighting the gas lamps.
Description: The daughter of an eminent MP is sent to the country away from the outbreak of cholera in London. Rusholme is full of extraordinary relations: Harriet's cousin Edward and his plans for a new life in New Zealand, Aunt Lucretia, and Lady Kingdom and her unobtainable sons.
