Most of The Day Is Coming takes place in the East End, whose slums have long been a happy hunting ground for reformers and revolutionaries. Among the hunters: George Bernard Shaw, Karl Marx's daughter Eleanor ("Tussy") Marx Aveling, Russian Anarchist Prince Peter Kropotkin, Socialist Poet and Craftsman William Morris-all of whom appear in Author Cameron's novel.

The fingers of at least one member of the Tussaud descendants have always been trained to model in clay and wax. The "Mr. John" who died last week was such a craftsman. Like the founder, he ran the establishment efficiently: four hours after Rudolph Hess dropped into Scotland, his correctly costumed effigy was on display at Tussauds.
