It is finished, said the woman, speaking very quietly to herself. "Not another day, nor a night, if I can be ready before morning!" She stood alone in her own room, with none to mark the white-hot pallor of the oval face, the scornful curve of quivering nostrils, the dry lustre of flashing eyes. But while she stood a heavy step went blustering down two flights of stairs, and double doors slammed upon the ground floor. It was a little London house, with five floors from basement to attic, and a couple of rooms upon each, like most little houses in London; but this one had latterly been the scene of an equally undistinguished drama of real life, upon which the curtain was even now descending. Although a third was whispered by the world, the persons of this drama were really only two.

This review is from: The Shadow of the Rope (Optimized for Kindle) (Kindle Edition)
The first reviewer tempted me into buying this book for my Kindle, and I am glad. I love the story, the Australian setting, very well done. Reminds me somewhat of H. Ryder Haggard. I have bought other Hornung stories for my Kindle.

I intend to read all of Hornung's work. I don't think that this is his best work but it is a good read. Well worth the $1.
