Right at the front door, in a high-backed leather-bottomed armed chair, with crooked legs and puppy feet like the tables, is seated the old man of the house himself.

"A very charming woman I should say," said the professor. "I saw her once not many months ago. She was distributing the prizes at a technical institute in North London.
