'The story opens in Portuguese India, where at midnight mass in the half-ruined cathedral of Old Goa two young Englishmen, Charles Tressider and Horace Vine, discover a fainting Englishwoman. Going to her assistance they find she is ill and unconscious, and the two native women by whom she is accompanied can only tell them that a year before they found her wandering alone in the jungle close to their village, delirious with fever. They had taken her in and cared for her; and on that night, had brought her to the cathedral at her own wish. The mysterious lady is promptly placed under the protection of Christian people in the town, and she is attended by a foreign doctor, who gains an hypnotic influence over her. There is soon a nice little tangle of events and circumstances, but eventually it is straightened out, and everything ends up better than could be expected.'
