My six this week come from my Regency WIP.
Mist, rising from the Thames swirled round their feet, while a brisk, dank wind blew any remaining alcoholic from their brains. The call of a distant night watchman informed anyone who cared to listen, that the early morning had advanced two hours beyond midnight. Vidal drew out his watch and confirmed the time as they walked in silence for several minutes.
“What ails you?” Vidal didn’t waste time in skirting round the situation. Dundas would not have invited his company at this time of night for simple pleasure.

Your setting drew me into the story and made me want to read more. Geat Six.
Thank you for letting me know it works for you. ;-0 Tmonique
Great description and intrigue. Of course, you wonder what happens next? Is Dundas going to ask for advice or pull a gun? :)
Beautiful scene setting. Very visual.
LOL Patricia, thanks for your comments. Lord Dundas was the First Lord of the Admiralty, there's plenty of intrigue but he's not pulling any guns! Thanks for coming by.
Thanks Gemma, I alway appreciate your comments.
Oooh this sounds fun. Admiralty plus intrigue = stupendous.
:-) Elin, thanks for coming by.
Wow, Sherry, this has great atmosphere!
