"[...]altogether that the sole excuse for his presence in that room lay in the fact that he was seeking lessons from this young girl. There could be no doubt whatever that at least one of the things that he had said of himself was true, and that he did love music; there could be just as little doubt that he already was a musician of a quite unusual calibre--one who had been both born and made. He played the delicate fragment with an exquisite art which filled Madge Brodie with amazement. She had never heard it played like that before--never! Not even by her own professor. Perhaps her surprise was so great that, in the first flush of it, she exaggerated the player's powers. It seemed to her that this man played like one who saw into the very depths of the composer's soul, and who had all the highest resources of his art at his command to enable him to give a perfect--an ideal--rendering. Such an[...]".

The house is invaded by a starving burglar and a ragged raving woman. Odder still, these two down-and-outs are haunted by the ghost of the man who once lived there. Tom Ossington was a kind man in life, but in death he's developed a bit of a mean streak. He seems to be tormenting this pathetic pair of housebreakers - one his wife and one his former friend.On the other hand, Tom Ossington is no enemy of the young ladies renting his house. In fact, he may turn out to be their benefactor!I really liked the heroine of this novel. She's a bit of a New Woman - outspoken, strong-willed, smart, courageous, even handy with a gun! And the ghost has quite a bit of personality and a grim sense of humor. People tend to learn a lesson from their encounters with Tom, those who survive it.Tom Ossington's Ghost was published in 1898, a year after the Beetle. But this is Marsh in a completely different mood - humorous and entertaining. Tom Ossington's Ghost is a ghost story, a love story, and maybe tale with a moral. Very light, the sort of thing the Victorians read to relax.

An Intriguing Mystery That Warrants A Once Through, But Not Worth A Double Take By HandiHeather An intriguing mystery that warrants a once through, although not worth a double take. The original story was published in 1898 by Richard Bernard Heldmann under the name "Richard Marsh." This book is available for free as an e-book from Amazon, which is why I downloaded it.The first few chapters really spark your interest by introducing several characters in peculiar circumstances. We meet Graham a musical genius that uses the ploy of needing to take piano lessons to gain access to Clover Cottage in London, England. Also enters Lily, known as "The Ghost's Wife," and you cannot tell if she's mad or whether her memories are so vivid that she portrays them in such a way as if they seem to make the house come alive. Heldmann gives exquisite detail of Lily's clothing each time she is brought up throughout the book. It's quite beautiful, although he describes her clothing as gaudy and in serious disrepair.Madge the protagonist is continually portrayed as a strong female lead. This is surprising for the times, considering women were still playing passive roles in society and were not granted the right to vote until 1920. Madge has a keen sense, is clever at deduction, and extremely witty.As the book goes on your interest may start to wane, like mine did, with exception for a few scenes, especially as they start looking for the "lost fortune" of Tom Ossington. I can definitely appreciate the riddle that was presented for finding the treasure.The book rattles on with burglaries, lock outs, and death. The story is pretty predictable and the ending is not surprising. The book of course has turn of the century language and I had to look up the vocabulary on several occasions, which I found fascinating. If you do not have an interest in that sort of thing I would highly recommend you not wasting your time on downloading or attempting to read.
