Excerpt from News Of Paris – Fifteen Years Ago Online Book
"We shouldn't both be coming from the same direction," Ruth said. "A lot of people know we're at the same hotel."
Henry Haven Dell smiled and then they both laughed. It was a bright morning in April and they had just turned off the Champs Elysées toward the English Church.
"I'll walk on the other side of the street," he said, "and then we'll meet at the door."
