Caleb Williams
Authorship not stated
You are Caleb Williams, newly orphaned and hired as secretary to the melancholy Mr Falkland for your reading, not your birth. Falkland is gracious but guarded, prone to sudden silences and burned pages, until you hear him groan behind a locked closet door and he turns on you as though you'd caught him at a crime. He presses five guineas into your hand as apology — and the steward Collins warns that the trunk's secret begins with a man named Barnabas Tyrrel.
