Sinopse

“Hullo! Markworth. How lucky! Why you are just the man I want; you’re ubiquitous, who’d have thought of seeing you in town?” said Tom Hartshorne, of the —th Dragoons, cheerily, as he sauntered late one summer afternoon into a private billiard-room in Oxford-street, where a tall, dark-complexioned, and strikingly-handsome man, was knocking the balls about in his shirt-sleeves, and trying all sorts of fancy shots against the cushions—The sole occupant of the room was he, with the exception of the marker, who was looking on in a desultory sort of way at the strokes of the player from his thronelike chair underneath the scoring board.

    The Dragon's Secret (1921) is a youth adventure novel by Augusta Huiell Seaman. Leslie Crane is a lively teenager companion to her sick aunt on a holiday spent on the beach. The aunt should have some calm repose to have her health recovered, but Leslie in her age of unrest finds the situation rather boring. She is not totally alone, though: she has a dog. Her dog digs out a box of metal, with a delicately carved dragon on it. The box was found close to a cottage, which was thought to be empty, but it is full of adventure: strange lights, visitors at stormy nights, and so on. Though there are no living dragons in it, the well-written mystery catches and maintains your attention.
