Within these rooms are gathered the complete tales of Mary Elizabeth Hawker, who wrote as Lanoe Falconer: stories of quiet houses, watchful strangers, troubled consciences, and those unseen presences which pass, half-suspected, through the ordered life of England. Read in full, and without haste, this library invites the listener to enter a world where politeness may conceal danger, faith may tremble before doubt, and the common drawing room may prove less safe than it appears.Public domain
