Publisher's Synopsis
It was Lady Drakmanton who stared now. "Do you know," she said, with a scared look around her, "rather a dreadful thing is happening. I'm suffering from a complete loss of memory. I can't even think who I am. I remember meeting you somewhere, and I remember you asking me to come and lunch with you here, and that I accepted your kind invitation. Beyond that my mind is a positive blank."The scared look was transferred with intensified poignancy to the faces of her companions."You asked us to lunch," they exclaimed hurriedly. That seemed a more immediately important point to clear up than the question of identity."Oh, no," said the vanishing hostess, "that I do remember about. You insisted on my coming here because the feeding was so good, and I must say it comes up to all you said about it. A very nice lunch it's been. What I'm worrying about is who on earth am I? I haven't the faintest notion?"
