V. FLORENCE LLOYD

A stir was perceptible all through the room as Miss Lloyd acknowledged by a bow of her beautiful head the summons of the coroner.

The jurors looked at her with evident sympathy and admiration, and I remembered that as they were fellow-townsmen and neighbors they probably knew the young woman well, and she was doubtless a friend of their own daughters.

It seemed as if such social acquaintance must prejudice them in her favor, and perhaps render them incapable of unbiased judgment, should her evidence be incriminating. But in my secret heart, I confess, I felt glad of this. I was glad of anything that would keep even a shadow of suspicion away from this girl to whose fascinating charm I had already fallen a victim.

Nor was I the only one in the room who dreaded the mere thought of Miss Lloyd's connection with this horrible matter.

Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Porter were, I could see, greatly concerned lest some mistaken suspicion should indicate any doubt of the girl. I could see by their kindly glances that she was a favorite, and was absolutely free from suspicion in their minds.

Gold bag

A surprise indeed. I did not care for the style of writing in 1911 and doubt I will ever read another written in that period. Hard at first to follow. The bad guy you had only a glimpse of towards the end but rooted for another. Though not a nice man not the murders. She lost the supposed lo

3.5 stars

This was an entertaining and light read, very traditional mystery. Wells is no Agatha Christie but her books are fun to read. One thing I'm having a hard time getting used to is the way Wells works with her detective Fleming Stone. This is the second book of the series that I've read and it
