Writing the Witch and the Hound, Victorian London, 1867

Writing THE WITCH AND THE HOUND

I am finishing the last scene of Chapter 4 - The St. Giles Rookery, where the Witch and the Hound are hunting for the serial killer, maybe they will find him.
Lady Elizabeth Gray is traveling at night in an open horse carriage, called a Landau (It's the type of carriage that Queen Elizabeh uses during high ceremonial duties), they were the convertibles of the age, the top could be brought up to protect the passengers from the rain and mud.

The driver would drive riding on the neatest back horse. Ussually such a carriage was pulled by four hourses. The richer people could afford to use matched sets of horses.

They are fully armed and hunting for the serial killer. Will they find him...?
