Comments on: Chapter 9. A Shallow Grave https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/31/chapter-9-a-shallow-grave-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 29 Aug 2023 03:39:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Theo Bane https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/31/chapter-9-a-shallow-grave-x/#comment-1519947 Tue, 29 Aug 2023 03:39:24 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=190173#comment-1519947 What a charming custom.

No doubt Mr. Williams continued to annoy Londoners as he decomposed and the roadbed sank somewhat.

It is as much a tale of everyday life as a tale of crime.

Will people shake with fear once more? Gruesome, perhaps, but not unexpected. Happy New Year, dear G.A. And thank you, and thank you. I can imagine the effort needed to publish every day.

History holds the key for eternity. Tonight’s revellers at The Crown and Dolphin should take care not to exceed one over the eight. A shallow grave allows a vengeful hand to reach out .

The body was hopefully dissolved by the quick lime as I pity any person digging up the roads in years hence.

I think that, over 200 years later, people would still flock to a horrible spectacle like this. The anger and resentment and pent up passions of the crowd having resurfaced on the last twenty years via the rise of social media.

Even though many laws today are not nearly effective enough, thank heavens we do have them! Imagine if it was left to “society” to exact punishment on those they believe are the lowest of the low.

From a rainy Brisbane Australia, I wish you, gentle author, and all your readers, the very best for 2022. May peace, health and blessings flow.
