The tale traces the fortunes of the family of Loring of the Manor of Tilford in Surrey, many of whose scions had been prominent in the service of the Norman and Angevin Kings of England, against the backdrop of the Black Death. The tale starts with the problems the family and its last scion, Nigel Loring, face at the hands of the monks of Waverley Abbey, up to the coming of Sir John Chandos.

John Girdlestone owns the firm of Girdlestone, a very lucrative business. He and his son Ezra Girdlestone are respected by everyone. After giving a donation for charity, John Girdlestone remarks to himself that it is not a bad "investment", as it will make a favorable impression on the collector, who is a Member of Parliament, whose influence he hopes to use some day. Ezra, his son, is even more of a cynic, as the elder Girdlestone's cynicism is mitigated by his supposed religiosity. A series of disastrous speculations by the elder Girdlestone financially ruins the firm. After keeping the impending bankruptcy a secret from everyone for a time, he tells his son, who is disgusted by his father's rashness. They resort to chicanery to save the firm - a scheme involving (tales of) diamond mines.

In South Australia, when a horse returns to town without its rider, the young miner Maurice Broadhurst, and with bloodstains on the mount, the villagers conclude that the young miner has been shot. The troopers decide to form an expedition to rescue the miner and punish the murderers. After several days of travelling the bush to the Bluemansdyke, they stumble upon an open mass grave containing a lot of corpses, some very new.

Major Heatherstone lives like a hermit at Cloomber Hall, forbidding his children to venture beyond the estate grounds? He is cursed by the sound of a tolling bell, and each year on the fifth of October his paranoia peaks. The sudden appearance of three shipwrecked Buddhist monks leads to some explanations. Arthur Conan Doyle's Gothic thriller - set in his native Scotland, in a remote coastal village surrounded by dreary moors - offers a cautionary view of British colonialism in the form of a captivating story of murder and revenge.

Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar officer in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity - he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, most accomplished horseman and most gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong, since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady.
