Reprint. Original grey cloth: figures in green, lettering in red. Scattered speckling on cloth, light foxing, pencilled signature (1908), very good. Like the author's earlier novel, The Veiled Hand, this is a "microcosmic view of the social life of to-day. It is founded neither upon an affair of blood, nor upon a breach of the seventh commandment, nor upon an ingeniously contrived puzzle, nor upon supernatural conditions, involving fanciful conversation with the Dead, but upon the commonplace social conditions of the period."
