There is no place in England where the likelihood of old-world peace is more equitable. There is a constant aura of relaxation here, whether it be in the morning, midday, or evening. This atmosphere extends beyond the enormous cathedral to the charming and historic homes that round the Close. One would assume that nothing else than a leisured and contented existence could dwell beneath those tall gables, behind those mullioned windows, and in the lovely old gardens tucked between the stone porches and the elm-shadowed grass. Pemberton Bryce had a habit of entering a room as though the person inside was asleep and was frightened to wake him. It was a very upsetting event when Pemberton Bryce's death was investigated in Wrychester Cathedral. Mary Bewery observed that her guardian's concern at the incident in Paradise was unusual. When she questioned him about the facts, he felt awkward and even irritated when she inquired about his professional details. Ransford had left for town, and Mary Bewery had gone inside the home to wait for him. She intended to inform him of all Bryce had said and implored him to make things right. She continued to watch out the dining room window for him nonetheless.

The orange-yellow diamond is written by J. S. Fletcher. This murder mystery from the 1920s, which is set in London, pulls off the amazing feat of being both incredibly racist and impressively diverse. On the one hand, a terrific lower-class Jewish amateur detective is the unquestionable hero and intellectual center of the whole thing and stars in the happy ending; on the other, Horrendous Stereotype Klaxon. All which said, this book features a London full of thriving immigrants (Maltese, Scots, Burmese, Japanese, and South Africans, many of them not actually murderers despite the book's high body count) is actually much more offensive than modern historical that present London as all-white and predominantly upper class plus servants. In a parallelogram formed by Oxford and Cambridge Terrace on the south, Praed Street on the north, Edgware Road on the east, and Spring Street on the west lie a collection of mean streets on the southern edge of the populous parish of Paddington. The drab dullness of these streets stands in striking contrast to the pretentious architectural grandeurs of Sussex Square and Lancaster Gate, which are nearby. The keen observer will always notice in these streets all those indications of the gloomy semi-poverty that are more pronounced in London than in any other English metropolis.

The middle of things is written by J. S. Fletcher and the book starts with a chapter that contains Viner's aunt, Miss Bethia Penkridge, who had an insatiable appetite for fiction. She had no taste for the psychological or erotic; what she loved was a story which began with crime and ended with a detection. Nothing pleased her better than to go to bed with a brain titivated with the mysteries of the last three chapters. A dead silence fell on the room, broken only by the crackling of logs in the grate. The silvery chime of the clock on the mantelpiece brought her work and her words to a summary conclusion. Unconsciously Viner walked back close to his own Square, but on the opposite side to that by which he had left it. He was about to turn into a passage, a dark affair set between high walls when a young man darted hurriedly out of it. Viner often walked through that passage at night and had thought more than once that after nightfall the doors looked as if they had never been opened, never shut. It was queer, he reflected, that he scarcely ever remembered meeting anybody in that passage.

It may well and fittingly be complained that of late years we English folk have shown an unpardonable spirit of curiosity about things which do not concern us. We have brought into being more than one periodical publication full of gossip about the private life and affairs of folk of eminence, and there are too many of us who are never so much pleased as when we are informed that a certain great artist abhors meat, or that a famous musician is inordinately fond of pickled salmon. There was a time when, to use a homely old phrase, people minded their own business and left that of their neighbours' alone-that day in some degree seems to have been left far behind, and most of us feel that we are being defrauded of our just rights if we may not step across the threshold of my lady's drawing-room or set foot in the statesman's cabinet.
