Excerpt from Samuel Boyd of Catchpole Square: A Mystery

AT six o'clock in the evening of the first day of March, in the year of Grace, 1898, Abel Death, a man of middle age, with a face appropriate to his name - which should never be given to any living human being - was sitting at his desk, employed in the task of writing the last of a number of letters, in accord ance with the instructions of his employer, Mr. Samuel Boyd, of N o. 6, Catchpole Square, in the North district of London. The letters all referred to Money: to Money due for principal and interest, and to warnings and threats of what would be done in case prompt payment was not made at such and such an hour on such and such a day. Uncompromising and relentless to the point of cruelty, debtors were told in plain terms that min was their portion if Mr. Boyd's demands were not complied with.
