The Altered Case
“Yellich and Webster strolled slowly and casually through the streets of Camden to the chambers of Oldfield and Fairly, Solicitors and Notaries Public, having ascertained the address by consulting the Yellow Pages telephone book supplied by an accommodating publican. The streets were, both officers noted, of early Victorian, perhaps even late Georgian terraces, set back a little from the narrow streets, of four storeys with square, sash windows and flat roofs. Anyone who believes that flat roofs... do not work, thought Webster as he walked beside and half a step behind Yellich, should come and visit London NW1 where the flat roofs seem to still be going strong after nearly two hundred years. At the street level there were small cafés, pubs, delicatessens, a Jewish museum and many interesting-looking restaurants. It was, thought Webster, a very pleasant pocket of the capital, with greenery in the form of Regent’s Park on its doorstep. Had he the funds, Webster believed that, despite what he had felt about London as a whole, he could settle in Camden.MoreLess
