?New York at its most charming? (New York Times) is the setting for
Volume 2, first published in 1941. One hundred years earlier, a
beautiful guest had disappeared from the wealthy Vauregard
household, along with the second volume in a set of the collected
works of Byron. Improbably enough, both guest and book seem to have
reappeared, with neither having aged a day. The elderly Mr.
Vauregard is inclined to believe the young woman's story of having
vacationed on an astral plane. But his dubious niece calls in Henry
Gamadge, gentleman-sleuth, expert in rare books, and sufficiently
well-bred?it is hoped?to avoid distressing the Vauregard
sensibilities. As Gamadge soon discovers, delicate sensibilities
abound chez Vauregard, where the household includes an aging
actress with ties to a spiritualist sect and a shy beauty with a
shady (if crippled) fianc?. As always in this delightful series,
Gamadge comes up trumps, but only after careful study of the other
players? cards.
