Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Treasure Trove
Mrs. Smart of The Laurels, Eastham, ' a suburb some dozen or so miles from Charing Cross, stood thoughtfully considering a small oblong package, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. For some days it had lain on the dining-room mantel shelf, and it being her son's custom to pile the rub bish of his correspondence on that particular spot, she had not questioned its right to be there. That morning, however, as Willy was hastily finishing his breakfast she had lightly referred to it. She was a woman of method, used to tidying up after her men-folk, and if it were his, she would put it in his room. But Willy, deep in the morning paper, had shaken his head. He knew nothing about it; if it did not belong to his mother, he supposed that his sister must have left it there.
