I Don't In Any Sense Think Of

In London, I've Always Lived Within 10 Miles Of Where I Was Born. You See, There Is Something Called A Spirit Of Place, And My Place Happens To Be London, At Least Once A Fortnight.

London Has Always Provided The Landscape For My Imagination. It Becomes A Character - A Living Being - Within Each Of My Books.

Yet, Like The Sea And The Gallows, London Refuses Nobody.

All Cities Are Impressive In Their Way, Because They Represent The Aspiration Of Men To Lead A Common Life; Those People Who Wish To Live Agreeable Lives, And In Constant Intercourse With One Another, Will Build A City As Beautiful As Paris.

I Had To Paraphrase The Paraphrase.
