Death At the Devil's Tavern
“The Muscovite, though obviously sad to see him go, for, alas, there had been no calls for John’s services that morning and the promised practical experience of tending the sick had therefore not taken place, accepted his fate with resignation and waved the Apothecary a cheery farewell. Wishing he had been able to do more for the boy but making a silent promise that in future he would see to it, John made his way across St James’s Park to number twelve, Queens Square, the address given him by Lu...ke Challon for Miss Amelia Lambourn.
Walking through the park, admiring the four lines of trees laid out by Charles II and the landscape contrived by the celebrated French gardener, Le Notre, John wished that his visit was not destined to be so grim. For, or so he reasoned, it would appear that he must break the news of Sir William’s death to the girl who only a few days earlier was to have been his bride. That was, of course, unless some member of the dead man’s family had had the decency to inform her.MoreLess
