London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in
Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets
as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it
would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so,
waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill.

This is a bunch of text split into three columns. The `column-rule-style`
property is used to change the style of the line that is drawn between
columns. Don't you think that's wonderful?
