The Dead Secret: A Novel

eBook (Prabhat Prakashan March 13, 2018)
These words were spoken in the kitchen of a large country-house situated on the west coast of Cornwall. The speakers were two of the men-servants composing the establishment of Captain Treverton; an officer in the navy; and the eldest male representative of an old Cornish family. Both the servants communicated with each other restrainedly; in whispers—sitting close together; and looking round expectantly toward the door whenever the talk flagged between them.
