Edition: New York, A. L. Burt Co, 1909 Illustrated by Herman Pfeifer.
The owner of the castle, Sir Gilbert Norray, conceives the brilliant idea of residing secretly in the neighbourhood and even in the castle itself, in order to avoid his duns. This naturally perplexes the tenant, who has come down from London to finish a book [but finds] other matters to study, including the heart of a charming young lady named Perdita.... Those who take up this novel will find that it contains a brisk, entertaining modern narrative, with rumours of a ghost and a burglar, a kidnapping, and a love-plot. —From the review by The Bookman (UK) 1909 Oct.
