Stranger in the House. One of the few citizens of Loudun who seemed beyond suspicion of any intrigue was slim, soft-spoken Marie Besnard, a matron of 53, who owned six houses in the town, the local White Horse inn, and a number of thriving stud farms. Marie had acquired property the easy way through the deaths of a succession of relatives and her purse strings were always loosened when M. le Curé came to call with a worthy charity in mind.

Little Miss Goudge (rhymes with Scrooge) is one of the most prolific and popular novelists now wielding a pen; with the help of the Literary Guild, her Green Dolphin Street (1944) and Pilgrim's Inn (1948) sold more than a million copies each.
