House of Mystery Draws Neighbors as Noon Intrigue Escalates
In a city block near the Powhatan club, Rudolph Van Vechten watches Number 1313 across the street as a sequence of figures enters a long-deserted mansion. Tom Phinney and Van Vechten wager on who will reveal the hidden visitors, and a mysterious arriving woman at 1313 adds to the suspense. Meanwhile a sudden shift toward concern over Paige Carew compounds the tension as a girl’s appearance hints at deeper motives. The scene blends social banter with hints of a larger, concealed intrigue surrounding the so-called House of Mystery.
