"My husband will never forgive me," she says with a sort of sob, opening the door to give him shelter. She has sworn to let no one in -- for the tax money he collected is hidden beneath the kitchen floorboards.
Then in the night she hears the faint scratching -- someone working at the lock of the door, from the outside! Yet the haggard refugee is sleeping soundly . . . and who could want to break into such a poor house as this?
Novelist Mary Cholmondeley (1859-1925), author of "Red Pottage" and "Diana Tempest," writes of escaped criminals, desperate thieves, and the mysteries of a seemingly loving family, in "The Lowest Rung and Others."
