The Hanged Man
“said James, looking out the study window at the unusual quantity of traffic in the square, “you’ve inserted yourself into history. No mistake about it.”
“Bother that,” snapped Alex.
“It’s true. The Grosvenor Square raid promises to have greater repercussions than anything since Guy Fawkes was found strolling under Parliament with a pocketful of matches. Looks like hundreds are being arrested.”
Alex had no mind for her place in history, being distracted by the need to acquire immediate transport...ation to Service headquarters. Every conveyance from half the stations in the city were being used to transport prisoners. Omnibuses were commandeered, even open carts from tradesmen were sent in.

Alex liked this level of command, but understood a disproportionate amount of responsibility came with it. She gladly anticipated turning the paper and her charges over to Mrs.MoreLess
