To Save the Realm, first para, Chapter 8: At Sherbourne's Club

At the doorway, after handing his umbrella to Brock, Alfred Sherbourne fumbled with the keys to his club. The rain had come down in buckets as they walked from the museum. Both men, despite the efforts of their meager coats and Sherbourne's umbrella, were quite soaked. Finally, Sherbourne opened the door and they entered one of the Georgian town houses that border Bloomsbury Square. A closed door to the left led down a flight of stairs to the cellar in which the club had its home. On the ground floor of the house were the offices of a travel agency. A small dance studio was on the first floor, which produced a steady flow of leggy young women up and down the stairs.
