The Eustace Diamonds
Authorship not stated
You play Lizzie, a penniless young woman under her sharp-tongued aunt's roof, angling to marry above her income while her cousin Frank Greystock watches with equal parts affection and suspicion. You succeed: Sir Florian Eustace proposes, gives you the family diamonds, and dies within the year, leaving you a widow with his infant son and a locked case the family lawyer wants back. As Frank presses you for the plain truth of what Florian actually said, a second suitor waits downstairs.
