In London cubby-holes were sufficient.

If merchants like Killigrew, generally these were along the water-front; creaky, old, dim-windowed.

In this bewildering country a man conducted his business as from a palace.

Thomas entered the portals, stepped cautiously into one of the express-elevators (so they insisted upon calling them here), and was shot up to the fourteenth floor, all of which was occupied by Killigrew and Company.

It was Thomas' first venture in this district.
