accurate description of his life at this time, and it points
to the significance of Woolrich's relationship with his

been sharing an apartment in the Hotel Marseilles for eleven
years, and the nature of their relationship is indirectly
indicated by the dedication to Phantom Lady: "To Apartment
605, Hotel M___ in unmitigated thankfulness (at not being in
it anymore)." >>
