London, 1845, the well known and proud Victorian era which was ruled by Queen Victoria I. The moon had vanished in the midnight sky as the clouds crawled over it. The air started to make a lullaby in my ear, like a music box for little children. The horse’s clipped and clopped along the old concrete road. Their hooves reminded…
