Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
Chapter I. THE LADY AND THE ENIGMA. WHO is she, anyway? Beatrice Ledyard placed her coffee cup upon the tabouret and raised her hazel eyes with a curious feline glint in them to her mother. My dear Trixy, what a question! Mrs. Ledyard waved a plump hand deprecatingly. I've been talking of Mrs. Hartshorne, and the invaluable aid she has given us in preparation for the Red Cross bazaar - I know, but is she going to take charge of a booth herself? Is she going to appear in any capacity? Trixy pursued. Doesn't it strike you as a bit odd that in all the six months she has been here in Eastopolis Mrs. Hartshorne has never appeared at any more public function than church? You dont mean that she might possibly be afraid of meeting embarrassing acquaintances from the past, do you Trixy? a guileless voice asked sweetly from a low chair by the fern-banked hearth, and Bebe Cowles helped herself lazily to another lump of sugar. It would be simply fascinating to find that we had an adventuress in our prosaic exclusive midst.
