The Honeywood Files (2012)
“Spinlove, 18.9.25.
An influential acquaintance is financially interested in a new novelty super-paint which will shortly, he informs me, replace all other surface coverings now on the market. It is called Riddoppo and is a super-paint giving a most dainty and fascinating interior surface to the inside of houses, as it is free from any odoriferous effects, cannot be scratched by the fingernail and is capable of receiving a high polish. It is elastic so that cracks do not permeate through it and ...it is also non-inflammable and operates as a fire-proofing coat to both joinery and walls. I should not be doing justice to the merits of Riddoppo if I did not add that it is acid proof, is compounded of entirely new secret elements and that a jet of boiling water or super-heated steam may be directed to impinge upon it for some minutes without deleterious effects occurring. The colours obtainable are very exquisite and varied and we have provisionally selected tints which we desire embodied in the decorative embellishments of the apartments of Honeywood Grange—as we anticipate naming the mansion; these will be known as the Pink Room, the Yellow Room, the Blue Room and so forth and the tints available will make it possible for each door to be identified by its independent colour.MoreLess
