Tutors' Lane is a novel by W. S. Lewis. Lewis was an American author. A sweet story of youthful timid love and friendship set in an early twentieth century college township populated with eccentric thinkers, naive youths, harsh-tempered matriarchs, and departmental busy-bodies. Excerpt: “The dark blue velours sofa upon which Mary Norris was sitting, facing the fire, he called “The Bosom of the Norris Family,” and when there were no heavy people like Henry Whitman about, he would occasionally throw himself upon it, carefully pointing out each time the pretty significance of his act. Behind the Bosom was a large and weighty desk covered with a multitude of personal letters, belonging for the most part to Mrs. Norris, a cheque-book open and face down in mute obeisance to the blotter, newspaper clippings, spectacle cases, scissors, and ash trays.”
