Contending Forces
Authorship not stated
You are Dora Smith, helping your mother settle a new lodger, Sappho Clark, into the sunny room upstairs. Sappho keeps her past locked in a dispatch box and gives only a typist's occupation, which unsettles your fiance John Langley more than good manners allow. By midnight he is at your door with a hotel register proving she has used another name, demanding you turn her out, but Sappho's room is already empty, and she has left before the last train.
