Day 95

This gloriously sunny afternoon found me walking the walls of York. I was thinking about Wilkie Collins' book No Name because the main character, Magdalen, finds herself in York for a fairly important part of the story. Let me share a favourite part from early in the novel:

"At the end of that time, a flying figure in bright garments, flashed upon the two gentlemen through the glass - the door was flung open - flower-pots fell in homage to passing petticoats - and Mr Vanstone's youngest daughter ran up to him at headlong speed, with every external appearance of having suddenly taken leave of her senses." 

Just in case you wanted an idea of what the walls look like...
