Pray for a Brave Heart (2012)
“The Aarhof on the Spitalgasse was a medium-sized hotel, efficient and comfortable even from the outside. Like the other buildings in the street, with which it formed a continuous row, its first floor consisted of arches (the Aarhof had five) leading from the kerb into the arcade that covered the whole stretch of sidewalk. Above the arches were four floors of ten tall windows, slightly shortening as they reached the broad overhang from the red-tiled roof. And every window, like all the other win...dows in this street, like most windows in all the streets, had its green box of bright-red geraniums.
Eminently respectable, Bill Denning decided as he stepped out of the Aarhof’s small bus which had brought him in solitary magnificence from the station. and he recalled, with some nostalgia, the little hotel in the Lower Town where he had once spent a couple of nights. Switzerland was one of the few countries where you could have a cheap room under the eaves, over-looking a seventeenth-century courtyard, without forcing yourself to ignore a delicate smell of sewage or a welcoming bedbug between the sheets.MoreLess
