62. Zilfworks Bab A SubDeb by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Anyway, although author Rinehart (1876-1958)was best known for mysteries and crime fiction, this story is a very light http://www.zilf.org/2002_10_13_zilfworks_archive.html

Zilfworks The Blog Please do not reproduce anything you find here without the author's permission. Saturday, October 19, 2002 What I finished reading today: Writing Screenplays that Sell by Michael Hague Since I'm an aspiring screenwriter, and currently in the process of writing my own book for other folks in the same position, I read a lot of screenwriting books. And, yes, many of them do cover the same territory over and over. But I've also discovered that almost all the most enduring screenwriting books, and almost all the authors who become famous for writing them, have at least one small unique spin on the material that makes them worth reading. Also, even though I'm long past the introductory stage myself, beginning screenwriters do often ask me which of the well-known books and or screenwriting teacher/gurus are most worth their attention. So I do feel compelled to keep up with the genre, and every now and then I pick up a very introductory text, either because it's brand new and I want to find out what a new author's unique take is, or simply because the book is already well known and I just never got around to reading it before. This book falls into the latter category. For years, I've had friends and acquaintences either read Hague's book or take one of his workshops - more on them at his

Rinehart, Mary Roberts Mary Roberts Rinehart EB Inc. (1876-1958), writer, reporter, and playwright Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 12, 1876, Mary Roberts graduated from the Pittsburgh Training School for Nurses in 1896. That same year she married Stanley M. Rinehart. She and her husband started a family, and she took up writing in 1903 as a result of difficulties created by financial losses. Her first story appeared in Munsey's Magazine in 1903. The Circular Staircase (1908), her first book and first mystery, was an immediate success, and the following year The Man in Lower Ten, which had been serialized earlier, reinforced her popular success. Thereafter she wrote steadily, averaging about a book a year. A long series of comic tales about the redoubtable "Tish," Letitia Carberry, appeared as serials in the Saturday Evening Post over a number of years and as a series of novels beginning with The Amazing Adventures of Letitia Carberry Rinehart served as a war correspondent during World War I and later described her experiences in several books, notably Kings, Queens and Pawns

79. "The Circular Staircase" By Mary Roberts Rinehart (1a) THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE, continued. Mary Roberts Rinehart, 1876 1958. . . . Andagain I thought of Gertrude's sprained ankle. Was it the right or the left? http://www.sharonvillines.com/MacGuffin/Reader/fiction/RinehartMR/circular_stair

Home Reader THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE, continued Mary Roberts Rinehart, 1876 -1958 . . . And again I thought of Gertrude's sprained ankle. Was it the right or the left? Chapter 8 THE OTHER HALF OF THE LINE "Miss Innes," the detective began, "what is your opinion of the figure you saw on the east veranda the night you and your maid were in the house alone?" "It was a woman," I said positively. "And yet your maid affirms with equal positiveness that it was a man." "Nonsense," I broke in. "Liddy had her eyes shut she always shuts them when she's frightened." "And you never thought then that the intruder who came later that night might be a woman the woman, in fact, whom you saw on the veranda?" "I had reasons for thinking it was a man," I said, remembering the pearl cuff-link. "Now we are getting down to business. What were your reasons for thinking that?" I hesitated. "If you have any reason for believing that your midnight guest was Mr. Armstrong, other than his visit here the next night, you ought to tell me, Miss Innes. We can take nothing for granted. If, for instance, the intruder who dropped the bar and scratched the staircase you see, I know about that if this visitor was a woman, why should not the same woman have come back the following night, met Mr. Armstrong on the circular staircase, and in alarm shot him?" "It was a man," I reiterated. And then, because I could think of no other reason for my statement, I told him about the pearl cuff-link. He was intensely interested.

80. "The Circular Staircase" By Mary Roberts Rinehart (2) THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE, continued Mary Roberts Rinehart, 1876 1958 . Taken all around, I had only substituted one mystery for another. http://www.sharonvillines.com/MacGuffin/Reader/fiction/RinehartMR/circular_stair

Home Reader THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE, continued ... Mary Roberts Rinehart, 1876 -1958 ... Taken all around, I had only substituted one mystery for another. If I knew now why Rosie had taken the basket of dishes, I did not know who had spoken to her and followed her along the drive. If I knew that Louise was in the lodge, I did not know why she was there. If I knew that Arnold Armstrong had spent some time in the lodge the night before he was murdered, I was no nearer the solution of the crime. Who was the midnight intruder who had so alarmed Liddy and myself? Who had fallen down the clothes chute? Was Gertrude's lover a villain or a victim? Time was to answer all these things. Chapter 13 LOUISE The doctor from Englewood came very soon, and I went up to see the sick girl with him. Halsey had gone to supervise the fitting of the car with blankets and pillows, and Gertrude was opening and airing Louise's own rooms at the house. Her private sitting-room, bedroom and dressing-room were as they had been when we came. They occupied the end of the east wing, beyond the circular staircase, and we had not even opened them. The girl herself was too ill to notice what was being done. When, with the help of the doctor, who was a fatherly man with a family of girls at home, we got her to the house and up the stairs into bed, she dropped into a feverish sleep, which lasted until morning. Doctor Stewart that was the Englewood doctor stayed almost all night, giving the medicine himself, and watching her closely. Afterward he told me that she had had a narrow escape from pneumonia, and that the cerebral symptoms had been rather alarming. I said I was glad it wasn't an "itis" of some kind, anyhow, and he smiled solemnly.
