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. When she returns to London she is forced to flee to New Zealand.

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.
