Chronicles Of The Secret Service (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
For weeks he had wandered through London searching for excitement and adventure; anything to give a zest to life. But from north to south, east to west, nowhere in the metropolis had he found anything that was even calculated to raise his interest above the ordinary level. A city that newspapers and novels had persuaded him to believe was full of glamour, of thrills, had turned out to be entirely humdrum, commonplace to the last degree. It was most disappointing. He had found that strolling through the environs of Soho at dead of night was very nearly like walking through a graveyard. Visions of crooks, assassins, members of foreign anarchistic organisations had faded woefully at the deserted appearance of Greek Street, the apparent respectability of Old Compton Street, the peacefulness of Dean Street. It was the same down amidst the unsalubrious highways and byways of the East End and Dockland. All the excitement produced by the latter was a dog fight and the spectacle of a drunken sailor resisting arrest.
