"They come in quite late, sir, even after the Biblius closes at eleven, and meet up in their rooms.  And neither Chapman, who serves at the Society, nor me, nor the cooks, nor the charwoman is allowed to be in the building."

"How peculiar!"

~page 131, The September Society by Charles Finch

This is the second in Charles Finch's Charles Lenox series.  I'm enjoying them and will get the third, The Fleet Street Murders, from the library.  I enjoy reading Finch's descriptions of Victorian Oxford and especially appreciated the appearance of Gerard Manley Hopkins in a cameo role (page 183).  By the way, if you are reading this book -- pay close attention to the conversation in this teaser!!
