Title: The Midnight Queen
Description: The plague raged in the city of London.  The destroying angel had gone forth, and kindled with its fiery breath the awful pestilence, until all London became one mighty lazar-house. Thousands were swept away daily; grass grew in the streets, and the living were scarce able to bury the dead.  Business of all kinds was at an end, except that of the coffin-makers and drivers of the pest-carte.  Whole streets were shut up, and almost every other house in the city bore the fatal red cross, and the ominous inscription.
