About this book
A Crooked Path is a novel by Mrs. Alexander. The contents list names, among others, The Lawyer's Visit, Temptation, Fruition and A Wanderer Returns. A character named Katherine begins, "I have ventured to bring you a manuscript". Katherine takes up a card reading John Fitzstephen de Burgh, and a slight smile creeps round her lips.
Mrs. Needham cries out that she is "just bursting with curiosity" and asks what news the other has for her. Miss Payne says of a man, "He must be a remarkable person". The text weighs that "Perhaps, after all, it might be better to accept De Burgh, and end her uncertainties".
