Description
London at dusk glows in Jesse Cliffe, a story by Mary Russell Mitford. One voice praises the prospect from Waterloo Bridge on a summer evening above all London sights. Sunset tints reflect in the Thames below. Later, lamps and boat lights blend with soft moonlight on the river.
Mitford usually writes of villages, so the city setting marks a change of air. The story carries its people between the worlds she knew, town brightness and country quiet. Talk, scenery, and character do the work that plot does in louder tales. Readers who know her through Our Village will enjoy seeing the same fond, precise eye turned on the Thames and its evening crowds.
