Dr. Rumsey's Patient (1896)-
Dr. Rumsey's Patient is young Squire Awdrey, whose family laboured under an hereditary curse. It brought an extraordinary loss of memory for matters of grave moment, combined with perfect remembrance of minor details. Two undergraduates, staying at the village inn, are greatly attracted by the innkeeper's niece. The girl is the village beauty and has secretly set her heart on the young Squire, though she amuses herself with the undergraduates at the inn. Young Frere becomes madly in love with the girl, and conceives a jealous passion against Awdrey. He attacks him in a wood, Awdrey defends himself and accidentally kills Frere. The family curse falls on him, he forgets what has happened, and the innkeeper's niece, who has seen the struggle, commits perjury to save him. Frere's companion is convicted and sentenced to penal servitude. How Awdrey recovers his memory after some painful years and clears the condemned man the book itself must tell. It is as exciting as the detective romance which wins such wide favour in the present day, and will certainly supply all the excitement which a reader can desire. Margaret Douglas, who marries Awdrey, is a very noble character--her portrait is the gem of the book.
A Master of Mysteries (1898)-
It so happened that the circumstances of fate allowed me to follow my own bent in the choice of a profession. From my earliest youth the weird, the mysterious had an irresistible fascination for me. Having private means, I resolved to follow my unique inclinations, and I am now well known to all my friends as a professional exposer of ghosts, and one who can clear away the mysteries of most haunted houses.
Red Rose and Tiger Lily (1894)-
A story of two English girls, who have just finishedtheir school life. The scene is laid in the country,and the events are quite simple and wholly unsensational.
A Girl in Ten Thousand (1896)
The heroine is an English girl, the daughter of a country doctor, who sacrificed his life for his profession. Believing herself fitted for a nurse, Effie Staunton began a course of training in St. Joseph's Hospital, London. Just as Effie was assured of success, she was forced to resign her charge. The story tells of her life thereafter, dwelling particularly on the incident that led to her being called "A girl in ten thousand."
