Excerpt from The Margate Mystery She was employed in the mantle department at the local Bon Marche, elevated to that position from the sales-counter by reason of her excellent figure, and the way she carried herself. The Bon Marche mantles looked well on her shoulders, Bon Marche customers thought they would look equally well on their own - of that thought was born profit to the proprietors of the Bon Marche. After eight o'clock in the evening she took the fresh air - such of it as finds its way into the Brixton Road. So it was that she met William and Charles, his friend. These two gentlemen were clerks in the city, and they shared a sitting-room and bedroom in a street off the main road - a street in which Lodgings for Single Gentlemen cards were as common as dirty doorsteps. Their joint income was three pounds per week. The description, bourgeois, was perhaps of a flattering nature.
