THE STORY OF IVY (Murder Mystery). Marie Belloc Lowndes
Kent Mansion, close to Kensington Gardens. They want to let it for six months, and I’ve just taken it in the hope that you and your husband will live there till you have found something you like better.”

As at last he tore himself from her arms, “Oh God,” he exclaimed. “If only you were free!”
