• It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents - except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

• Day appears again. This time he leans in close enough for his hair to brush, light as silk, against my cheeks. He pulls me towards for a long kiss. The scene vanishes, replaced abruptly by a stormy night and Day struggling through the rain, blood dripping from his leg and leaving a trail behind him. He collapses onto his knees in front of Razor before the whole scene disappears again.

• Now are the days, of humblest prayer,
  When consciences to God lie bare,
  And mercy most delights to spare.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Now is the season, wisely long,
  Of sadder thought and graver song,
  When ailing souls grow well and strong.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  The feast of penance! Oh so bright,
  With true conversion's heavenly light,
  Like sunrise after stormy night!
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Oh happy time of blessed tears,
  Of surer hopes, of chast'ning fears,
  Undoing all our evil years.
  Oh hearken when we cry.
  Chastise us with Thy fear;
  Yet, Father! in the multitude
  Of Thy compassions, hear!
