A Fragment of a Summer Day in London Life
A vivid narrative follows Hamilton and Madge Lambert during a London day. He admires engravings at a riverside residence, contemplates love and memory, then wanders through parks and streets, torn between longing and restraint as a rain shower ends the scene. A later simple incident with an elephant and a cake theft punctuates the miscellany of city life.
