Lady Audley's Secret
Authorship not stated
You are Robert Audley, and your old friend George Talboys arrives from the Australian goldfields to find a newspaper announcing his wife's death days before he could reach her. You bring him to your uncle's estate to grieve quietly, but Lady Audley, the new mistress of the house, keeps missing every chance to meet him, and a portrait of her stops George cold for reasons he will not explain. He walks toward the house alone one morning and does not come back.
