Excerpt from The Open DoorWhat went on behind those closed shutters, none of them knew for a certainty.Why the woman who lived there chose to be so secretive, was quite beyond their comprehension.What her appearance was like, they hadn't even the ghost of an idea; for, as each of them knew, Kitty Flint had never crossed her threshold into the street for fourteen years.Some one ought to go over there and ask Miss Flint, in the name of public morality, to keep her shutters open.This ultimatum, Mrs. Colston, who lived in the first of the brownstones, delivered to her husband one evening at dinner across a really pyrotechnic display of cut glass, Haviland and silver.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
