Kirkwood is a depressed artist who finds new inspiration in helping the distressed Miss Calendar. He is under the impression that Miss Calendar is fleeing from one person, when he learns that the danger is much closer. He pursues her in an attempt to save her from those who would steal her inheritance and maybe even try to kill her. Good story, well-read. I enjoyed it a lot.

The adventure is fun, but the author seems to believe that use of large words makes the story better when in reality it makes the characters pretentious and unreliable
Good Readers - Verbose Author

A good story but a bit too long in the telling.
