The Street stretched away north and south in two lines of ancient houses that seemed to meet in the distance. The man found it infinitely inviting. It had the well-worn look of an old coat, shabby but comfortable. The thought of coming there to live pleased him. Surely here would be peace - long evenings in which to read, quiet nights in which to sleep and forget. It was an impression of home, really, that it gave. |

| Soon after a young woman named Sidney scandalously takes in a mysterious roomer to help with the rent, the Street is shaken up. Going simply by K. Le Moyne, he is a man of the world who has given up all that he has, including the love of a woman, in his move. Bored with life at thirty years old, he “dared not look back, and had no desire to look ahead into empty years.” Sidney, likewise, is tired of the life she leads in the Street. This intriguing novel made its mark on the bestsellers’ list in 1920. |

| Nothing escaped Carlotta's eyes--the younger girl's radiance, her confusion, even her operating room uniform and what it signified. How she hated her, with her youth and freshness, her wide eyes, her soft red lips! And this engagement--she had the uncanny divination of fury. |

| It was that bete noir of the playwright, an ensemble; K. Le Moyne and Sidney, Palmer Howe, Christine, Tillie, the younger Wilson, Joe, even young Rosenfeld, all within speaking distance, almost touching distance, gathered within and about the little house on a side street which K. at first grimly and now tenderly called "home."... Sitting just inside the door on a straight chair was Sidney-such a Sidney as he never had seen before, her face colorless, her eyes wide and unseeing, her hands clenched in her lap. ..."They say I poisoned him." Her voice was dreary, inflectionless. "K." is one of Mary Roberts Rinehart's earlier novels that weaves a mystery around the characters on the Street; it could be any street; especially in Pittsburgh. |
