A London House Party and the Lost Child
The narrator introduces Isobel de Sorrens, a wounded girl under guardianship sought by Major Delahaye. Arthur Fielding, Allan Mabane, and the narrator shelter her at a shabby studio, while police and a shadowy guardian Grooten complicate the rescue. Isobel’s resilience and the trio’s camaraderie set the stage for a tense, city affair.
