Posters on the platform at Durlingham announced in red letters that Professor Lee Ramsden, M.A., F.R.S.L., would lecture in the Town Hall at 8 P.M. She heard Miss Kendal saying, "If it had been at three instead of eight we could have gone." She had a supreme sense of something about to happen. Heavenly the long, steep-curved glass roof of the station, the iron arches and girders, the fanlights.
In Queen's Gate hardly one lighted window showed that the houses were inhabited.
