The Lit & Phil is a home from home, a constant source of joy and comfort. That most rarified of institutions, a private library, founded in the eighteenth century as a "conversation club" has become a refuge, while the City Library is closed for reconstruction, for the Graphic Novels Reading Group: we sit in the committee room and slide comics across the big table to each other.

The Ladies' Room is an entire suite of rooms: a sitting room which leads into an antechamber, on either side of which is a small washroom with a lavatory beyond it. And this brass fitting is on the door of the innermost chamber.

You didn't show me that! It's marvellous; it really ought to be a portal.

Since the lock is on the inside of the door, if it is a portal, it's a portal back into L-space (which makes sense, really).

Next time Ellen goes there, she'll have to make sure to go to the loo then! Sounds amazing.

And Stephen will, of course, have to go the gents to compare and contrast.
