Chapter XXXVII
AT THE CAFÉ MOSCOW During the few days which had preceded Dick's visit to the Countess Olga's house, he had been very depressed. The excitement which he had at first felt in going to the House of Commons as the Member for Eastroyd had gone. He found, too, that the "Mother of Parliaments" was different from what he had expected. The thing that impressed him most was the difficulty in getting anything done. The atmosphere of the place was in the main lethargic.
