Romance of the Sea. Stress is placed on London as a town infected by the romance of the "I always think," says Hop- kins, "that the wind blows across our bridges on the Thames with all the salt and savour of the sea. It is natural that the sea winds should spell romance to London folk, for the sea has always been the cradle of their activities and is still the soiree of their strength.” And then again:
The true lover of London will always go to the bridges when he returns after # long absence. Standing on London Bridge the silver riband of the river leads the eye irresistibly skywards to the clouds above Tower Bridge, and our thoughts go with our eyes until they are lost in a monstrous fantasia of great ships, cranes, spars, docks, and church towers, from which it is but a step to the midnight stars and the open sea...."

In a tax on his way to his hotel he gives a lift to a young lady and recognises her as the original of the painting and also seen that she has but one glove. He has the other..
