At last, a Time Patrol story that begins by stating place, day of the week, day of the month, month and year, but it is the last published Time Patrol story.
City Din
wind booming through streets, whining in galleries
footfalls
hoof-beats
creaking wheels
thudding hammers
chattering voices
songs
prayers
ringing church bells
Stenches
offal
horse droppings
privies
graves
smoke
Other Senses
low, racing, iron-hued clouds
whirling dust
chill
People
housewife
artisan
priest
mountebank
blind beggar
merchant
apprentices
man-at-arms (drunk)
student
foreigner
carter
a Knight Templar
a boy at his heels
no time traveler yet (that we know of)
