OOC: Lodgings

Most of the tenants of the boardinghouse at 12 Nightlark Street are working people with jobs in the surrounding neighbourhood. Mrs. Swift maintains strict rules:

• No pets


• No overnight company - guests may be entertained in the downstairs parlour


• No noise after ten


• No gambling


• No spitting


• No smoking inside the house


• No liquor in the house


• No being "under foot" during the day


• Tenants must attend church on Sunday

In exchange for this and a small amount of rent, she provides a sparsely furnished room, access to a shared bathroom, laundry service, and provides breakfast every morning and Sunday dinner for the occupants of the six upstairs rooms at half board, breakfast and dinner each day at full board.  Delphine assists with the meals of half board in exchange for a slightly discounted rate.

Delphine's mail, of which there is a fairly steady stream, is delivered to the boarding house.

Inside is a beaded necklace made of some odd, pale-green glass-like material. (Zee-glass, if she asks someone about it) A carved flower faintly stained pink hangs as a pendant. It feels more like bone than any sort of stone.
