On certain evenings, the curtains are drawn and a chamber orchestra conveyed into Mrs Chapman's. The lanterns are replaced with candlelight and the tea with absinthe of the most searing green.

"Mr Pages! However did we miss that you were there..."
[…] Impromptu groups discuss literature, poetry and […] pamphlets […] one looming figure careens from group to group […]
[…] Mr Pages […] seems to have a particular interest in the house, though it disguises it with bilious pronouncements upon modern literature […]Description summary:
The last paragraph changes during the various Festivals throughout the year.
Current Festival | Last paragraph |
---|---|
London's Season: The Feast of the Exceptional Rose | Mr Pages interrogates the various visitors with many intimate and probing details on their love lives. It seems best to slip away when it produces its ivory pencil sharpener. |
London's Season: Whitsun | As a final flourish, and in a rare display of whimsy, Mr Pages sweeps its arms wide as it turns to leave, depositing a series of duck's eggs in everybody's drinks, to general consternation. |
London's Season: Hallowmas | Mr Pages is gone by the time you look back. It is considered poor form for the Masters to involve themselves in the rituals of Hallowmas. Of course, they may just want you to think that, to avoid the charge that they are rather poor at disguises. |
London's Season: Christmas | Mr Pages is busy feeding books of seasonal cheer to the fire as you leave. "Sentimush," it explains firmly, as another story about a little matchstick girl goes up in smoke. |
