About the Author
Alfred Edward Wooley Mason was born in 1865. He was educated at Dulwich College before being sent up to Oxford University. Once his formal education was completed, Mason went on to become an actor. He began his writing career with historical fiction and then moved into the arena of politics, becoming a Liberal Member of Parliament for Coventry in 1906. But his love of writing carried on and Mason developed his style to incorporate detective fiction, introducing one of the earliest fictional detectives, Inspector Hanaud, the Gallic counterpart to Sherlock Holmes. His detective fiction contains material clues and spontaneity. Throughout the course of his life he produced over thirty titles. A E W Mason died in 1948.

'You will play on your violin to-night, I think,' he said with a smile, as they rose from the table. 'Yes,' she answered, 'I will with all my heart.' Durrance laughed and held open the door. The violin had remained locked in its case during these last two months. Durrance had come to look upon that violin as a gauge and test. If the world was going well with Ethne, the case was unlocked, the instrument was allowed to speak; if the world went ill, it was kept silent lest it should say too much, and open old wounds and lay them bare to other eyes. Ethne herself knew it for an indiscreet friend. But it was to be brought out to-night. Mrs. Adair lingered until Ethne was out of ear-shot. 'You have noticed the change in her to-night ' she said. 'Yes. Have I not ' answered Durrance. 'One has waited for it, hoped for it, despaired of it.' 'Are you so glad of the change ' Durrance threw back his head. 'Do you wonder that I am glad Kind, friendly, unselfish these things she has always been. But there is more than friendliness evident to-night, and for the first time it's evident.' There came a look of pity upon Mrs. Adair's face, and she passed out of the room without another word. Durrance took all of that great change in Ethne to himself. Mrs. Adair drew up the blinds of the drawing-room, opened the window, and let. 100 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9781443213127
