On a fine August morning, Mr. Bloom and Miss Kathleen—who was visiting home after spending the last year working in the shop of a renowned builder of clock and steam machines in Paris—had barely settled down to the breakfast table when Bloom peered at me over the Daily Mail.
"Please have Mrs. McCullen put on more sausages and toast for our guests. You'll want to set two more places and then pour them morning tea. Extra sugar and cream for Mr. Cooke, and make sure the marmalade is near Inspector Highmore's hand."
Kathleen peered at him, setting aside her morning post. "So, we're expecting company, then?"
"We were not, but company is arriving."
And so, I was swept up in the first of many adventures I would share with Mr. Arkady Bloom.
