The author describes how 'As the broad glare of gas drives darkness even
from our alleys, so multitudinous avocations keep rest for ever from our
streets' (488). Between midnight and two o'clock, the coffee-houses in the
vicinity of Fleet Street and the Strand are 'beset by habitual idlers, or
late-stirring "professional people"', including 'medical students guiltless of
physic'. 'This is the very "witching time," par excellence , of night, /
"When graves yield up their dead!" / (because resurrection-men will have it
so)'. (489) Reflecting on the importation of ice for confectioners, the author
suggests that, 'with the help of a few more devices in the way of commercial
arrangement, and perhaps a new improvement or two as to the application of
steam, it shall go hard but we will, shortly, turn the seasons out of doors
altogether' (490).
