The Evil Genius
Authorship not stated
Fever has reduced your rented room to medicine bottles and an unpaid bill when a carriage stops outside: Catherine Linley, arriving because her small daughter found your governess advertisement and would not let it wait. Kitty hires you herself, on condition you answer to Syd, while Mrs Presty inspects your dismissal letter and Herbert Linley recognizes the name Westerfield, tied to a father convicted at sea. You leave with the post, a month's advance, and a house that is already divided about you.
