Death At Apothecaries' Hall (2014)
“Opening it while he consumed his breakfast, John read the following: My dear Mr Rawlings, I write in Haste and send this out with Hope that said Communication will reach you Before you Leave for your Premises in Shug Lane. May I Presume to Ask that you Meet me at the Apothecaries’ Hall at Ten O’Clock. The Master has Requested Such and I Wish to Oblige Him, though not at Gross Inconvenience to Your Good Self Signed, ever your Friend, J. Fielding.
Very slightly put out as he had hoped to spend th...e morning compounding with Nicholas, John bolted the rest of his food and took a hackney coach to his shop in order at least to see that all was well.

Gradually he noticed that most of the customers were female, aged between fifteen and twenty, and vying with one another for Nicholas’s attention.MoreLess
