Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maitland Varne, or the Bells of De Thaumaturge
The languorous inattention taken from my cigarette and bestowed upon my footman at his entrance took on a sti} of interest. Three luxurious conclusions before breaking the seal - were as certain as the slant ing afternoon sun. The note was from Kathryn Dres den and brought by her faithful lackey Dare; it was of utmost importance; it would shed further light upon that mystery of mysteries - Saul Marmaduke.
Far from brilliant inferences these. Diminutive, grayish-white envelopes addressed in Kathryn's hand and entrusted exclusively to Dare - able-bodied mes senger of my fascinating American friend - had fallen to me twice before, demonstrating that Kathryn Dres den, in her notes as in her letters, could never be un important and was increasingly absorbed in the long unsolved mystery of Saul Marmaduke.
