Brood of Ducklings

1928. In addition to serving variously as an editor and a drama critic Swinnerton wrote over 30 novels. A Brood of Ducklings begins: About five o'clock one February afternoon a few years ago, an elderly man-obviously a gentleman-was walking at a leisurely pace through the large London square which is known as Lincoln's Inn Fields. He had come from one among the narrow streets of the neighborhood, had paused awhile before the window of a shop claimed as the original of Charles Dickens's Old Curiosity Shop, and now, with a faint smile upon his thing face, was preparing to skirt the central garden. Dusk was already upon the City, and was made the darker by heavy rainclouds which covered the sky. A strong, bitter wind carried a few flying splashes of rain to the square flags of the pavement.
