About this book

In the village of Inkston, near London, Doctor Mary Arkroyd welcomes a friend whose engagement has collapsed just before the wedding. Cynthia Walford arrives shaken by discoveries about Captain Cranster, including an earlier marriage and trouble over his cheques. Mary answers distress with brisk advice, chocolates for the tearful maid and a walk across the heath. Anthony Hope places these conversations among old village houses and newer suburban villas, giving the opening a close view of manners, money and professional standing.

Published in 1919, the novel brings returning soldiers into a social world where appearances call for careful scrutiny. Its mystery draws Mary into puzzling over Beaumaroy, while Cynthia and Captain Alec become absorbed in their own romance. A half-understood remark about Morocco takes on sudden importance for the doctor.
