The Room Where It Happens

I wasn’t surprised that Howell had a gramophone. It was sitting beside the fireplace in his living room, with one shelf of the bookcase holding the slim vinyl records. I had seen it the first time I’d come to his neat Brownstone on the nicer side of town, but I hadn’t paid it much attention.

I still wasn’t paying attention as my partner went to the shelf and put on a record - until the music started.

“Wait,” I said. “Is this Hamilton?”

“Vinyl is all the rage now, Jones,” said Howell, deadpan as ever.

I laughed. “Always full of surprises, sir.”
