"The Horror in the Museum" by H.P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald

Alienist is an old-fashioned word for psychiatrist.
I couldn't even begin to guess what accent Orabona should have. We are only told he has an accent, and that he is "dark-skinned". But "dark skin" could mean anything from the olive of a Middle Easterner to the medium brown of southern India, to the darkest black from the heart of Africa; "dark" is a relative term, not an absolute one. Given that the setting is London in the early 20th century, all we can say is that he is "dark" relative to an Englishman, which isn't helpful at all.
For those of you who are familiar with London, the streets mentioned in this story are all real. If you live there, or have plans to visit there, consider trying to follow along some of the paths mentioned! :-D
Well, I have absolutely no idea if those parts of London are safe, so do your diligence first, but if they can be traveled safely, it could be fun to do so.
