And Then He Kissed Her
“It’s what so often happens.
Lord Marlowe The Bachelor’s Guide, 1893 Miss Dove’s lodgings were in Holborn, where blocks of flats formed a respectable neighborhood along Little Russell Street. Harry paused in front of number 32, a tidy brick building with lace curtains. A small, hand-painted sign in the window declared that a parlor flat was available to be let, but only to women of good character. A pair of potted red geraniums flanked a freshly painted door of dark green. The door’s brass knock...er and handle gleamed in the late afternoon sunlight.

The foyer seemed a bit dark after the brightness outside, but the pleasant scent of lemon soap told him the inside was as pristine as the outside.

To his right, a staircase with a wrought-iron railing curved upward, forming a sort of alcove where there was a large oak desk.MoreLess
