Her husband, Edward Thorne, was dead. He had been found...

  • The Count of New England
    ACT I: THE SUMMONS The letter arrived on a Tuesday, wrapped in cream-colored paper that smelled faintly of myrrh. Lady Eleanor Ashworth broke the seal with fingers that trembled—not from cold, though the November wind howled through the mullioned windows of her Boston drawing-room, but from the memory it invoked. The handwriting was elegant, precise, the script of a man who had received the...
