"Mrs. Meade, might I speak to you a moment? It's-it's quite absurd, but most distressing, and I really don't know what to do."
Mrs. Meade's landlady has an unnerving problem: her new lodger doesn't seem to exist! No one in Sour Springs besides Mrs. Henney has ever seen him-so where does he go when he leaves the house every morning? The obvious solution is to lay the question before Mrs. Meade.
This is a stand-alone short story, which can be enjoyed in any order with the Mrs. Meade Mysteries or by readers new to the series.
