A light drizzle had been blessing the roofs of London for the past hour, and the grey sky was finally opening up. A woman in a crimson dress reached beyond her umbrella; satisfied, she retracted the cover and continued to scurry through Hyde Park.

The trail bustled with horse-drawn carriages and well-dressed folk making conversation. She paused when she saw a group of sturdy men erecting a banner by The New Crystal Palace.
