Marrrrrmaduke!” The coaxing calls in a rather pleasant light baritone were accompanied by the bang of a tin. It jarred in George’s ears as he stood under a street lamp, shivering a little in the chill December air, and checked the address he’d jotted down on a little scrap of newspaper. Yes, this was it: Allen Street. And number 21 must be… right where a broad-shouldered young man was standing silhouetted in the doorway, banging a tin dish against the brickwork. George stared for a moment. “Excuse me, is this number 21?” “Yes! Are you here about the room? Come in, come in, it’s perishing out here.” It was quite disconcerting to hear such a friendly voice coming out of the shadows that veiled the young man’s face. “I say,” he added, “you haven’t seen a black cat around here on your travels, have you?” George raised an eyebrow, then recalled that his own expression was most likely equally invisible to the other man.
