The novel is a thrilling and suspenseful tale that will appeal to fans of mystery and adventure stories.""Oh! Mr. Cameron, how can you?"" Mrs. Bouverie-Barton cried, quite pettishly; for even advanced ladies are still feminine enough at times to be distinctly pettish. ""I take the greatest trouble to keep all such rubbish out of Joyce's way; and then you men of science come down here and talk like this to her, and undo all the good I've taken months in doing.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
