Lord Meacham’s visit to Tarnlea worried Caroline Carruthers because she had not yet finished the project she’d started. As heir to the estate, Meacham had a right to discover why he wasn’t in touch with Caroline’s father--and why there were such enormous expenses against the property.
For some reason I found this short story less than satisfying. Probably because everything must be wrapped up so quickly and there is not much character development allowed. However, it was a short, entertaining read, though without much tension or anything compelling to engage the reader's attention. This is a quick, light read to pass the time and not an unpleasant one at that.
