The storm had passed over the Poultry at four o'clock, bringing welcome distraction to the clerks in every office. Soames was drinking a cup of tea when a note was brought in to him: "DEAR SIR, "Forsyte v. Forsyte and Forsyte

And outside, the river evening darkened, charged with heavy moisture and sweet scents. 'Monday, thought Fleur; 'Monday!
