St. Nicholas' Feast

This morning across Arcadia London North, pewter mugs of market porter are raised in the direction of the good custodians of the most hospitable Farlows London Showroom and all those brothers of the angle, sisters who angle also, gentlemen in the company of their dogs, writers for the cause and serving officers with Her Majesty's forces who called by the glazed cabinets for a drop of December blood uptown yesterday.
