Leonard could not learn the private address . That necessitated more trouble with directories and tubes . Ducie Street was not discovered till the Monday , the day that Margaret and her husband went down on their hunting expedition to Howards End . He called at about four o'clock . The weather had changed , and the sun shone gaily on the ornamental steps -- black and white marble in triangles . Leonard lowered his eyes to them after ringing the bell . He felt in curious health ; doors seemed to be opening and shutting inside his body , and he had been obliged to sleep sitting up in bed , with his back propped against the wall .
