Two days later she departed for The Towers, leaving me alone in the flat with everything planned for my comfort and good behavior she was rather a tyrant in her quiet way and her last words as I saw her off from Charing Cross rang in my head for a long time after she was gone: "I'll write and let you know, Bill. Eat properly, mind, and let me know if anything goes wrong."
We walk home circuitously down Cranbourn Street and into Charing Cross Road where it turns past the National Gallery into St. Martin's place. Through Duncannon Street, we enter the Strand, now almost deserted save for a few stray figures and a hurrying taxicab. We then turn into Villiers Street, and in a few minutes we are on York Terrace, overlooking the Thames embankment.
