Lewis Arundel is the story of a young woman who has recently lost her husband, and in return, regained a prodigal son: the promising and proud young Lewis Arundel, back from his service in Germany. A strange mystery surrounds the father's death, and it is up to Lewis to solve it. Excerpt: «Smiling at his mother's caprice, Lewis Arundel drew himself up to his full height, and, placing his back against the wall, stood in the attitude of a soldier on parade—his head just touching the frame of a picture which hung above him.»
