| Summary |
The hero of the book is at a loose end, weary and bored of his old life after returning from the Great War. After an argument with his uncle and a railway strike he finds himself lost in the county of Norfolk at ten o'clock one night. When he seeks shelter in a country home, the butler immediately recognizes him as -Mr. Alfred-, the missing son of the house. From that point onwards, our hero, who gives his name as -James Smith-, finds himself in for an exciting time. Not only does he inherit the friends of -Mr. Alfred-, but also the odium of his misdoings. Protestations are useless: the villagers are convinced he is the prodigal son. Of course, he could just leave the village - but then, had he not been hoping for something exciting to happen - and more importantly, what about Marjorie, the girl at the window? Originally published anonymously, this romantic comedy was just signed -by the author of -Patricia Brent, Spinster- (a book that was also published anonymously) with a dedication: -To those in many countries who have generously assumed responsibility for the authorship of Patricia Brent, Spinster - this book is dedicated by the author. |
