We mean to buy up the whole of Kingsway!" "And later on, of course, the whole of Regent Street!" "You are satirical. You are not alarmed at the prospect of having me for a landlord!" "I don't understand you! The Hall in Kingsway is my father's own property." "If that is so then you have nothing to fear," Hamar laughed, "but I think it just possible you are mistaken.
The great torrent of vans and carts was sweeping down Kingsway; pedestrians were streaming in two currents along the pavements. She stood fascinated at the corner.
Martin and Davenport's great Illusions have been explained and their Hall in Kingsway, so long famous as the Home of Puzzledom, of necessity shorn of its glamour, one need not be surprised if those who delight in this kind of mystery, should turn elsewhere for their amusement.
She used to paste these into books, or send them to her friends, having first drawn a broad bar in blue pencil down the margin, a proceeding which signified equally and indistinguishably the depths of her reprobation or the heights of her approval. About four o'clock on that same afternoon Katharine Hilbery was walking up Kingsway. The question of tea presented itself.
