My Master
2nd Street had always been 2nd Street. 1st Street had been renamed for one of the Kings, 3rd and 4th for some Lord General or other, and even 7th was no longer 7th, as it was renamed for Mayor Lyfmaker. 2nd Street was still only 2nd Street, but not for a lack of renaming options. Jewel Boulevard had been proposed and, I am told by my Master, names as variable as Diamond Street, Gem Avenue, and Gold Road had also been broached and dismissed in their turn. During the heyday of the City, 2nd Street had been the “Jewelry Quarter”. No government buildings gilded 2nd Street, no bankers or stockjobbers conducted their trade on its’ pavement, but anybody who was anyone visited the majestic gleaming shops that graced 2nd Street. The shop names: Rademacher, Francois, Fitzroy, Kit, Fall, and Gersh, to name only the most famous, resonate beauty, high fashion, wealth, and the heart of the social hierarchy, even in this dreary age where they are almost, but not quite, forgotten.
