Synopsis
Excerpt from The Roll-Call of Westminster Abbey
There is a silence, which can almost be felt at this darkest hour of the night, inside the great church, a silence broken once and once only in the writer's experience by the fall of some apparently heavy body upon the pavement of the choir. After a breathless moment of suspense, and a search aided by the watchman's lantern, the tiny half starved corpse of a sparrow was discovered on the stones, the intense quietness around illustrated by the noise so small an object had caused.
