My Lady's Money
Wilkie Collins
Book Overview:
Lady Lydiard has an uncomfortable bit of business to settle, and intends to do so with a five hundred pound note. But just as she is about to complete the letter with which she is to send the note off, an emergency occurs in the house, and for a little while everyone is preoccupied - be it with the sick dog Tommie, the management of the house, or a kindling love. But when everything settles down again, the note is missing. Who took it?

FOR a quarter of an hour the drawing-room remained empty. At the end of that time the council in the boudoir broke up. Lady Lydiard led the way back into the drawing-room, followed by Hardyman, Isabel being left to look after the dog. Before the door closed behind him, Hardyman turned round to reiterate his last medical directions—or, in plainer words, to take a last look at Isabel.
"Plenty of water, Miss Isabel, for the dog to lap, and a little bread or biscuit, if he wants something to eat. Nothing more, if you please, till I see him to-morrow."

At that point Lady Lydiard cut short the interchange of instructions and civilities. "Shut the door, if you please, Mr. Hardyman. I feel the draught. Many thanks! I am really at a loss to tell you how gratefully I feel your kindness. But for you my poor little dog might be dead by this time."

A simple plot. There was absolutely no need to rack the brain to identify the culprit. I treaded along merely for the prose and style of writing, which is a contrast to the books that I usually read. The haunted hotel by Wilkie Collins had a slightly more non-trivial plot and having read that before

My Lady’s Money is a novella written by British author Wilkie Collins and published in the late 1870s. Collins is most known for The Woman in White, one of my most favorite novels, which has been made into a TV series by the BBC premiering on PBS this Sunday.

Lungi dall'essere uno dei migliori Collins, l'autore dà voce ad alcuni personaggi estremamente divertenti, atti ad interazioni che vanno a compensare sia la prevedibilità "mistery" sia la semplicità del complotto romantico. Tuttavia con Collins raramente scendo sotto le 4 stelline, ogni sua lettura
