He had tried his latch-key, but had found it inefficient. As he was supposed to be at Liverpool, the door had in fact been locked. At last it was opened by Lady Carbury herself. He had fallen more than once, and was soiled with the gutter.
And he got out of his cab in front of a very new limestone basement house with red geraniums blooming on the window-sills, and let himself in with a latch-key. The interior of the house was attractive in a rather bright, new, clean fashion.
There was but one door to the Kilgour apartment and the girl and Dodd stood in front of it; they had evidently waited in the corridor after emerging from the elevator, and the young man was detaining her, talking earnestly. The girl opened the door with her latch-key, and with an apology he stepped in front of the pair and entered. "Well, I'll be " blurted Dodd.
He gave me an odd sort of glance, as if he was wondering what on earth I or anybody else could care about him, and I left him fumbling with his latch-key. I think you will say I did pretty well, when I tell you that within a few weeks I had made myself an intimate friend of Black's. I shall never forget the first time I went to this room; I hope I shall never see such abject, squalid misery again.
It was hardly within the proprieties to call upon her at such an hour, but it could not matter very much, when the girl's own ideas were so unconventional.

They furnished and fitted it up themselves. There's a separate entrance at the side of the shop. Each of them has a latch-key of his own. So they can go in and out as they like they never bother us. But, as a matter of fact, there are only four or five of them who are members now the others have all left. That's the real truth and I tell you I don't know if Mr. Chang Li might be up there or not.

The lamplight struggled out through the fog, and Hallward looked at his watch. "I have heaps of time," he answered. "The train doesn't go till twelve-fifteen, and it is only just eleven.
Downey, the canary that pudding was made of, must have been an uncommonly fine bird." There was a swift step on the pavement, the determined click of a latch-key, and the clang of a closing door. "Why, here is Mr. Rickman," said Mrs. Downey, betraying the preoccupation of her soul.
