Tuula Temonen "Sydämen ääni : Romaani" by E. Temple Thurston is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Sally Bishop, a young London typist, as she navigates wearisome office life, unsettling attention from a confident stranger, and a safe but loveless proposal from a respectable suitor, with themes of independence, desire, and social respectability in a foggy, modern city. The opening of the novel sets a moody London evening where Sally, exhausted after overtime at Bonsfield & Co., is watched from the street by Jack Traill, who later follows her onto a tram and presses a bold, teasing conversation that ends with an offensive “ten-pound” bet and Sally’s abrupt exit at Knightsbridge. At her Hammersmith boarding house she spars gently with her practical, skeptical roommate Janet Hallard about work, marriage, and the compromises of the stage. That night the house’s rising banker, Arthur Montagu, takes Sally for a riverside walk and proposes, offering comfort and status; she admits no love, promises only to think, rebuffs his request for a kiss, and later prays, conflicted. The scene then shifts to Traill: after a perfunctory dinner he encounters a worn former acquaintance and brings her to his rooms for talk, where her hopes of a place in his life surface as she begins suggesting how she would “warm” his cold bachelor flat.
