To Save the Realm, first 10 lines of first chapter (Mycenae, Tennessee)

Brock Coole sat up and wondered for a moment where he was. He swung his stockinged feet over the edge of the bed,reached for his terry-cloth robe, and pulled it over his shoulders. He was not used to this cold and damp. He had been in this room in a small hotel in Bloomsbury since Thursday night. The hotel was one of many tourist hotels in a row of converted Edwardian townhouses on Bedford Place near the British Museum. His room was a quiet one on the fourth floor. In it there was an overstuffed chair, a table with a lamp, and a quite comfortable bed covered by a soft white chenille bedspread.
