Beyond doubt, all her movements had been spied and marked, and Ravengar had been in a position to complete his arrangements whatever his arrangements were at leisure and with absolute freedom. She had taken a room in Horseferry Road, and he had followed.... What was the sequel to be? That she was in his power at that moment Hugo could not question. And the chloroform?
'Never have I had the police in my house before, wailed the landlady of No. 23, Horseferry Road, while the candle dropped tallow tears on the oilcloth. 'And all I can say is I thank the blessed Lord it's dark, and you aren't in uniform. Doctor Woolrich's rooms are on the first floor, and you can go up and see for yourself, if you like. And how should I know he wasn't a real doctor?
From Lambeth Bridge the Horseferry Road leads westward. This was the main track to the ferry in ancient days, and as the ferry was the only one on the Thames at London, it was consequently of great importance. It was here that James II. crossed after escaping from Whitehall by night, and from his boat he threw the Great Seal into the river.
As if in a dream they rattled on through the dark street, no one speaking except that Lauzun asked the Queen if she were wet.

Stillwood, acting on the impulse of the moment, had taken the child by the hand and dragged her, unwilling, to her father's place of business a small coal shed in the Horseferry Road. The arrangement he there made amounted practically to the purchase of the child.
No. 6,767, Dr. Woolrich, 23, Horseferry Road; chloroform! Can't make out the quantity, but it must be a lot, I should think; the price is eighteen and ninepence. 'Dr. Woolrich, 23, Horseferry Road? Simon repeated mechanically. 'Chloroform? 'That's it, said Albert. 'You may bet your boots. Let's look him up in the Medical Directory, if they've got one here. Yes, they're sure to have one.
The third crossing place of a great pre-historic road, that of the Watling Street, is believed to correspond with the line of that very ugly suspension bridge which runs from Lambeth to the Horseferry Road in Westminster.
'And what's more, if she hadn't made up her mind to marry him, she wouldn't be so precious easy and facile and friendly with me. I might have guessed that. They passed Victoria Station, and came into Horseferry Road. She had informed him that she had taken a furnished room in Horseferry Road.
