"Miss M ," he said, "is a far-away cousin of mine — very distant, in fact. A New England woman.
During the war the man she was to have married was killed at Fair Oaks. Since then her life has been one of the widest charity. Strangely enough, this slight, gentle woman with her quiet ways has a remarkable control over the criminal classes.
