Question

tolong dong! Write a short description of the setting of the story?
Mary stirred. The old, straw mattress scratched her bare arms. Silently, she crept towards the open casement, desperate for some air.
As she looked out across the thatched London skyline, she felt uneasy.
She could see a candle flickering nervously in the room opposite. Old Samuel never slept. Even Mary had found it difficult on these warm nights. Recently, the rancid air had wrapped around the timber buildings like a thick cloak, clinging to every surface. It had been suffocating.
But tonight felt different. Tonight there was breeze.
Mary leant a little further forward to study the narrow, cobbled street below.
Another light caught her eye. An orange glow, creeping stealthily between the houses.
Then a noise – a faint crackling – and just a hint of smoke in the air.
Mary held her breath and listened.
A shout rang out, echoing through the sleeping street. The word everyone dreaded – ‘ FIRE!’
They were used to fires. The wardens were constantly patrolling the streets with leather buckets full of river water. The combination of wooden houses, warm weather, dry straw and candles was not a good one, but usually the fires were doused before they could get a hold.
Tonight was different! Tonight there was a breeze. The welcome breeze that everyone had longed for was now fanning the flames in the rooms below. They were already licking the side of the building, like the many tongues of some gigantic monster.
Mary knew she had to act quickly. It was too late to escape downstairs.
She began to climb through the open casement. At full stretch, she could just reach the room opposite.
Suddenly, Old Samuel was there, grabbing her hand and helping her to safety.
‘We must hurry, child,’ he said. ‘The flames will soon be here too. We will head for the river. It’s our only hope.’
