Mrs. Henry Wood 
Johnny Ludlow, Second Series [EPUB ebook] 

A series of vignettes about life in the Victorian times in Great Britain. Excerpt from Second Series: "Many a true tale has been told of the disappearance of money in passing through the post. Sometimes the loss is never cleared up, but remains a mystery to the end. One of these losses happened to us, and the circumstances were so curious that they would have puzzled a bench of judges. It was a regular mystery, and could not be accounted for in any way."
