Johnny Ludlow, Fourth Series e-bog

A series of vignettes about life in the Victorian times in Great Britain. Excerpt from Fourth Series: "e;Look here, Johnny Ludlow,"e; said Darbyshire to me-Darbyshire being, as you may chance to remember, our doctor at Timberdale-"e;you seem good at telling of unaccountable disappearances: why don't you tell of that disappearance which took place here?"e; I had chanced to look in upon him one evening when he was taking rest in his chimney-corner, in the old red-cushioned chair, after his day's work was over, smoking his churchwarden pipe in his slippers and reading the story of "e;Dorothy Grape."e; "e;We should like to see that disappearance on paper,"e; went on Darbyshire. "e;It is the most curious thing that has happened in my experience."e; True enough it was. Too curious for any sort of daylight to be seen through it; as you will acknowledge when you hear its details; and far more complicated than the other story. The lawyer at Timberdale, John Delorane, was a warm-hearted and warm-tempered man of Irish extraction. He had an extensive practice, and lived in an old-fashioned, handsome red-brick house in the heart of Timberdale, with his only daughter and his sister, Hester."e;
