Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heritage of Peril IN the ladies' room on the Midland platform of the great New Street Station, Birmingham, one March after noon, Dessie Merrion sat waiting for her train, and watching with strongly-roused interest a well-dressed woman who was her only companion in the room. The girl was about one and twenty; quick and capable in looks, and her small, regular features and her gen eral manner suggested considerable independence, self resource, and natural capacity. Knitting needles were clicking swiftly in her deft fingers, and thus without waste of time she could watch her companion out of her shrewd grey eyes.
