AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An English visitor and his brother investigate an elderly censorious woman. She is the estranged wife of the brother whom she had tried to poison and whose health was broken. They discover that Miss Standish runs a gaming house with the help of a local villainous youth. Further, there are two sisters who are using her identity. Suicide and a prison term follow the exposure of the women, and the youths also meet their different fates. (PB/JG)
