The Letter – Paternoster

IV. PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON – July 30, 1880, early morning. Paternoster Row, the heart of the print industry, was heaving with delivery carts, cabs and people. Miss Lonsdale was irritated as she arrived late for her appointment with her publisher, Mr Kegan Paul. He had been worried about her role in the dispute at Guy’s Hospital and the damage to his reputation as her backer. Her writing career may have ended before it had begun.
