Chancery Lane

THE DIAMOND MAKER by H. G.

WELLS Some business had detained me in Chancery Lane nine in the evening, and thereafter, having some inkling of a headache, I was disinclined either for entertainment or further work.

So much of the sky as the high cliffs of that narrow cannon of traffic left visible spoke of a serene night, and I determined to make my way down to the embankment, and rest my eyes and cool my head by watching the variegated lights upon the river.

beyond comparison the night is the best time for this place a merciful darkness hides the dirt of the waters and the lights of this transitional age red glaring orange gas yellow and electric white are set in shadowy outlines of every possible shade between grey and deep purple through the arches of waterloo bridge a hundred points of light mark the sweep of the embankment and above its parapets rise the towers of westminster warm grey against the starlight The black river goes by with only a rare ripple breaking its silence, and disturbing the reflections of the lights that swim upon its surface.

My father's clients deserted him.

He purchased various dark gloomy chambers in and about Chancery Lane, and his purchases always went wrong.

Then as a final crushing blow, an old uncle, whose heir he was to have been, married and had a family.

The house in London was let, and also the house he built in Harrow, from which he descended to a farmhouse on the land, which I have endeavoured to make known to some readers under the name of Orley Farm.

That was it.

They were familiar with it as the little London clerk is familiar with Fleet Street or Chancery Lane.

We are talking about what are often referred to as challenge arcades in the escape room hobby.

And the reason why it's sometimes referred to as escape arcades is that in London, in the centre of London, very near Chancery Lane, there is one particular one called the Escape Arcade, made by the people who make the Enemy Group Quests escape room, which is very good and very popular too.

The first one that John and I ever did.

Yeah.

That was it.

In some cases, I received no answers, but about fifty appointments were made for me to call in various parts of London.

Mrs. Clifford Morris, who was spending a few weeks in Brighton, asked me to call on her husband, a solicitor in Chancery Lane, who could then give her particulars in regard to me.

She thought she could employ me as useful help in her flat when she returned home.

In her several letters, she addressed me as, "My dear Miss Barrows," and the sympathetic, delicate manner in which she treated me quite won my heart.
