Lynn ThompsonNARRATOR

On one occasion, she kept him waiting so long that he had been able to do nine holes, starting at the Savoy Grill and finishing up near Hammersmith.
Tim BulkeleyNARRATOR
His was a simple mind, able to amuse itself with simple things.
Tim BulkeleyNARRATOR
As he stood there, gazing into the middle distance, an individual of disheveled aspect sidled up, a vagrant of almost the maximum seediness, from whose midriff protruded a trayful of a strange welter of collar studs, shoelaces, rubber rings, button hooks, and dying roosters.

There were, in... medieval times 10 leper hospitals in the city or lazar houses and when i say in the city they're actually located around it now saint james's lazar house which had been where the leprous maidens of saint james had once lived had disappeared when its buildings were absorbed into saint james's palace and St. Giles's Lazare House was taken over for use as a parish church.
SaulHOST
However, six of the others, located in dubious neighbourhoods like Highgate, Mile End, Kingland, Southwark, Hammersmith, and of course, the most scummiest of all, Knightsbridge, were now transferred to the administration of the newly refounded St. Bartholomew's Hospital.

SaulHOST
Sometimes that meant theological reform, sometimes it meant a palace, and sometimes, rather unfortunately, it meant a thousand cartlords of bones.
