It was late summer-time, and the perfume of flowers stole into the darkened room through the half-opened window. The sunlight forced its way through a chink in the blind, and stretched across the floor in strange zigzag fashion. From without came the pleasant murmur of bees and many lazier insects floating over the gorgeous flower beds, resting for a while on the clematis which had made the piazza a blaze of purple splendour. And inside, in a high-backed chair, there sat a man, his arms folded, his eyes fixed steadily upon vacancy. As he sat then, so had he sat for a whole day and a whole night. The faint sweet chorus of glad living things, which alone broke the deep silence of the house, seemed neither to disturb nor interest him. He sat there like a man turned to stone, his forehead riven by one deep line, his straight firm mouth set close and hard. His servant, the only living being who had approached him, had set food by his side, which now and then he had mechanically taken. Changeless as a sphinx, he had sat there in darkness and in light, whilst sunlight had changed to moonlight, and the songs of the birds had given place to the low murmuring of frogs from a lake below the lawns.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. O.K. sequel to "The Mysterious Mr. Sabin" By Kindle Customer This book is readable and interesting, but not as good, IMO, as the first Mr. Sabin book. There are only 2, afaik.SPOILERS (if you haven't read the other book)Mr Sabin is called out of blissful retirement to search for his missing wife, Lucille, Countess of Something or Other. It turns out she is somehow wrapped up with a pan-national Royalist secret society of frightening power and influence, much like the Nihilists who put an end to Mr. Sabin's plans in the last book. Why these Royalists didn't show up to protect him from the Nihilists is never discussed.Like I said, readable and interesting to watch Mr. Sabin control himself and walk with such dignity and aristocratic bearing and tact, even as he plots to save his own life and reunite with his beloved Lucille. The ending is beyond belief, tho, and left me chortling with derision.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Context is everything By RobGM A nice crafted defense of the rights of the aristocracy to rule the "unwashed" masses crept up on me before I realized it. Though torn, I was hooked and wanted to know the fates of the characters. I read this because it is free, Oppenheim is a writer whose style intrigues me, and he typically spins a good yarn. Of course, reading older books exposes one to older sensibilities, somewhat jarring to a modern reader. Something of a departure from his luxurious mysteries, though akin in so many ways.The Yellow Crayon
