Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by William Merritt Chase, Walter Sickert and James Tissot. Two elderly bachelors and a household of young women in a Norwood suburb, and a widow next door who bicycles, boxes and holds opinions — after which the neighborhood is never the same. Conan Doyle wrote this in 1892 between the Holmes stories; it is a domestic comedy about the New Woman, affectionate and rather braver than it looks, and nobody remembers he wrote it. Fifty-seven plates, from James Tissot and William Merritt Chase among others, catch the leisure and manners of the very world the story inhabits.
