[Gutenberg 43674] • The Cardinal Moth

The Cardinal Moth by Fred White - Sir Clement Frobisher cynically remarked that his orchid-house has cost him more than �100,000, but his love of flowers was his only weakness. He was said to have been kicked out of the diplomatic service after an operation connected with certain Turkish Bonds. The scandal was an old one, and he had retired from public view. But all of that was about to change, as fate would have it... American author Frederick Merrick White (1859-1935) wrote novels and short stories under the name "Fred M. White" including his "Doom of London" series, a science-fiction set in which multiples catastrophes affect London.
