Dawn of a To-morrow, The by BURNETT, Frances Hodgson

A wealthy London business man takes a room in a poor part of the city. He is depressed and has decided to take his life by going the next day to purchase a hand gun he had seen in a pawnshop window. The morning comes with one of those memorable fogs and the adventure he has in it alters his decisions and ultimately his life. (Summary by Linda Andrus)
