In one of this author's novels, the title character is sent a ring by the "princess of the golden locks." He wrote a play in which a cheap landlady passes off rotten veal as curry and a Jewish schemer tries to collect investments for a fictitious silver mine until a rhetorically gifted stranger arrives at the boarding house to moralize the inhabitants. In addition to Paul Kelver and The Passing of the Third Floor Back, he wrote about a man who remembers burying two malodorous cheeses on a beach in another novel. That man has every disease except housewife's knee and treats himself by eating a one-pound steak and a pint of beer every six hours. This author wrote of that man's journey from Kingston to Pangbourne with Harris and George, as well as Montmorency the dog, in a work that was followed by a story set "on the bummel." For 10 points,
