In which a curiously villainous servant known only as the Camel is enlisted and transformed by necessity and circumstance, navigating the petty hostilities and curiosities of a London lodging-house with a fierce loyalty and a restless spirit. Amidst tales of revenge and fits of temper, he tends his duties with a strangely tender care, all the while harbouring secret plans that carry the promise of distant seas.
