“She had learned about it from one of the waiters, the second day of her arrival at Freehold. It was mostly in use by night, rather than by day; it locked behind you as you went out, but Nightingale had learned from that waiter that she already had a key.

It was not in keeping with Lyrebird, or with the sober and dignified woman she had portrayed herself as when she arrived.In fact, she rather doubted that she would have had a hearing if she’d shown up at the door in these patched and worn clothes. They were clean, scrupulously clean, but they did not betoken any great degree of prosperity.MoreLessRead More Read Less
