Notes: The idea for both the title and the fic as a whole comes from The Spectator, a series of published essays by Richard Addison and Joseph Steele. Although they were written in the early part of the eighteenth century, and this is set in the later part, The Spectator continued to have an immense influence on writing, thought and public life. The essay I am especially using is no.
454, in which Mr. Spectator spends twenty four hours awake in London, watching the world go by.
