Madam Sara

Madam Sara by L. T. Meade is about Mr. Dixon Druce and his friend, Jack Selby from Hayward's House. Mr. Dixon meets Jack's beautiful wife and sister and meets the ravishing Ms. Madame Sara who has a business proposition. Excerpt: "Everyone in trade and a good many who are not have heard of Werner's Agency, the Solvency Inquiry Agency for all British trade. Its business is to know the financial condition of all wholesale and retail firms, from Rothschild's to the smallest sweet-stuff shop in Whitechapel."
