Book Excerpt: 
. . .Princess. Suppose I decide to help you?

Jarvis. What do you mean?

Princess. You have no fear of death? You are not afraid of ghosts?

Jarvis. No, I'm not afraid of ghosts.

Princess. If you escape from here it will be because I helped you—we might say I saved your life, if what you tell me is true—and if I do it, it will be from a selfish motive entirely—it will be because I have work for you.

[11]Jarvis. Very well—I'll swear the blackest oath you can utter. Let's hear it.

Due to it's age, several characters would have to be rewritten and language and characterization of the time would make it

I really enjoyed this. I actually listened to a dramatic reading via livrivox (which I recommend to those who like myself can't afford audible). It was an interesting tale with mystery, a princess, and a ghost.
