I didn't know about it until later: my email was acting up in the British Library, and I couldn't open emails but could only read their titles. And so, when I saw the email exchange between the House Folk entitled 'Fire!' I paused a moment. Then I reasoned that in an emergency, they'd be using phones, surely...
So, I stayed at my research, and when the Manuscripts reading room closed, I moved to Rare Books, reading of unicorn tapestries until that room too closed at 8pm. Then homeward bound, to what I hoped was a welcome fire.
Anyhoo, it all worked out beautifully!
