In London we give ourselves a pat on the back, rightly, for not killing one another, for our prejudice being subtle rather than lethal. ↗

When Edward Gibbon was writing about the fall of the Roman Empire in the late 18th century, he could argue that transportation hadn't changed since ancient times. An imperial messenger on the Roman roads could get from Rome to London even faster in A.D. 100 than in 1750. But by 1850, and even more obviously today, all of that has changed. ↗

Being an only child, I didn't have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London. ↗
