novel by Karla Kelley The party had been fun at first, but it was now hours into the New Year and Sara was tired. She'd had her fill of champagne, so she made her way to the kitchen for a glass of water. As she stepped through the door, she startled a couple in a lover's embrace. "Excuse me," she said and was just about to turn around when she found herself staring into the guilty

"Violets! Violets! Violets!" The voice came nearer still. "Surely," I said, "it is

CHAPTER I On a memorable morning of early December, London opened its eyes on a frigid grey mist. There are mornings when King Fog masses his molecules of carbon in serried squadrons in the city, while he scatters them tenuously in the suburbs; so that your morning train may bear you from twilight to darkness. But to-day the enemy's manoeuvring was more monotonous. From Bow even unto

They didn't see much of him during the week, but he seemed to spend most of the weekend sitting at the top of the outside stairs in front of the toilet door.
