Excerpt from The Villa Mystery The train that should have reached Mordenholme at six in the afternoon was more than two hours late. Thirty miles out from London an accident to the locomotive had brought it to a standstill, and made the rest of the journey, when it was at last resumed, a mere funeral march. Fortunately there were very few passengers in the train to chafe at the delay. At Mordenholme only one person alighted, a girl of eighteen, dressed in deep black. She looked about her with the air of one who sees a new place under unexpected and disconcerting conditions. Night was closing in rapidly. A note of timid anxiety betrayed itself in her pretty voice as she inquired of the porter, who took the half of a return ticket from her, about the trains back to town. There was only one, at five minutes past ten, the man told her, and she glanced at the station clock. It was now nearly half-past eight.

Excerpt from The Childerbridge Mystery It was not, however, until James was a tall, handsome young fellow of four-and twenty, and Alice a Winsome maid of twenty, that he arrived at the conclusion that his affairs no longer needed his personal supervision, and that he was at liberty to return to the Mother Country, and settle down in it, should he feel disposed to do so.

Excerpt from The Mystery of Hartley House Rain had been falling for five days when I first saw Hartley House. The place had so much local distinction that a village not far from the estate was named Hartley, for it. Even when drenched and dripping in a storm which had lasted for five days in late May, the spot was beautiful and charming; it had antiquity, that rare thing in a new land. Its two thousand acres, handsomely arranged for decorative and agricultural purposes, lay along the river-bank, with an indented and interesting littoral where the river was two miles wide.
