brownstone house in the shabby West Sixties was in no way different from a dozen other houses in the block, except that about it seemed to hover the ghost of its
high gentility. Its
stoop reured itself in outmoded pride, in spile
of the fact that beside the heavy entrance door a faded sign announced to anyone who, in the rushing, noisy traffic of the New York of 1930, cared to read: "Board and Lodging-Transient and Permanent."
Beyond the door was a world where time stood still-a refuge for those who lagged behind in the march of the years and now found solace in turkey red carpets, high ceilings, tunnel-like drawing rooms and prismed chandeliers. Above the marble mantel hung a vast painting of the withered okt jady who for so many years had been mistress of the house-Miss Minnie.
