"Gradually, a faint brightness appeared in the east, and the air,
which had been very warm through the night, felt cool and chilly.
Though there was no daylight yet, the darkness was diminished, and
the stars looked pale. The prison, which had been a mere black mass
with little shape or form, put on its usual aspect; and ever and
anon a solitary watchman could be seen upon its roof, stopping to
look down upon the preparations in the street . . . By and by the
feeble light grew stronger, and the houses with their sign-boards
and inscriptions stood plainly out, in the dull grey morning . . .
And now, the sun's first beams came glancing into the street; and
the night's work, which, in its various stages and in the varied
fancies of the lookers-on had taken a hundred shapes, wore its own
proper form - a scaffold and a gibbet . . . " (The Complete Works
of Charles Dickens, Harper & Brothers, New York and London,
Barnaby Rudge, Vol. II, Chapter XIX, page 164. ) Dickens describes
an activity which takes place in the early morning hours, just
before sunrise. As the day begins and people start to go about
their business and get ready to watch the hanging, the hangman is
ready with the gallows.
