Chapter 61: Do you understand my regret?

Standing at the street corner, Durin surveyed a scene that was entirely different from that of Van Linn Street.

In van Linn Street, everything was so orderly, the streets were spotless, the gentlemen were cultivated and polite, and the ladies kind-hearted and gentle. Everything seemed as perfect as a painting.
