Crystal Clear // Journey's Eve — Elizabeth Cadell

LADY IN THE DARK

Paul took the paper and read the paragraph indicated, and as he read, the kitchen seemed to perform a slow revolving movement, and come to rest with a grinding jar. It looked a very nice announcement.

"The engagement is announced between Sir Paul Saxon, Bt., elder son of the late Sir Bartholomew Saxon, Bt. and of Lady Saxon, of 16 Lowndes Crescent, S. W. I. and Helga, only daughter of Madame de Brulais, of 89 Selcourt St. S. W. 3"

There was only one thing wrong with it. He had never in his life heard of Madam de Brulais or her daughter, Helga. Five weeks! And then Paul was off to Africa. In that time he had to find the girl who claimed to be his fiancée. Indeed, it was a situation which opened up endless vistas of surprises and complications.

Then Paul caught a glimpse of lovely, dark Antonia Wyatt. What happens when a handsome young lord-about-town falls in love with a beautiful commoner? The results are remarkable enough to rattle the skeletons in an eccentric family's closet!
