Irish author Katherine Cecil Thurston's book The Masquerader was originally released in 1904. After the fog-filled night, Chilcote awoke at nine in the morning and watched his man Allsopp sneak across the room, setting the salver and his early cup of tea on the table next to the bed. Since the time he woke up, it had lingered with a hazy persistence, but in the bright morning light, it appeared to stand out with an even greater oddity. Loder first encountered the bitterness of life painfully on the night Chilcote returned to his house. The fact that sentimentality had no place in the man's temperament was indicative of his character. Though they were hidden, sentiments were present, but he outright rejected sentimentalities. Due an unfortunate circumstance, Lillian Astrupp was escorted into the morning room at Grosvenor Square where Eve Chilcote had left an accusatory telegram on the bureau. What purpose had Lillian served by spending those alone times? One solution came to Loder's thoughts. Lillian was not the type of lady to pass up an opportunity, no matter how big or small the area was at her disposal.
