When a merchant captain, bound for the East on a perilous voyage, entrusts his life's savings to this pillar of the community before sailing, no one imagines what shape the banker's gratitude will take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWord arrives that the ship has gone down with all hands. The grieving widow calls at the bank to claim the deposit-and is told, with smooth regret, that no such sum was ever received. The only witness is dust, and the only proof lies in an iron safe behind a locked door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast out into poverty, the captain's beautiful daughter takes to the London stage, where she attracts the notice of a dissolute marquis and the loyal devotion of a young artist. Meanwhile, a ragged stranger walks the lanes near Wilmingdon Hall-watching, waiting, and carrying a secret that could drag a respectable name down into the vaults beneath the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Elizabeth Braddon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1667666878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781667666877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wildside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Mary Elizabeth Braddon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801397539071,"sku":"9781667666877","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rupert-godwin-mary-elizabeth-braddon-9781667666877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
