Explore "Lady Molly of Scotland Yard" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Many people have asked me whether I knew when, and in what circumstances, Lady Molly joined the detective staff at Scotland Yard, who she was, and how she managed to keep her position in Society -- as she undoubtedly did -- whilst exercising a profession which usually does not make for high social standing.
Well, of course, there is much that I have known all along about my dear lady -- just as much, in fact, as her aristocratic friends and relations did -- but I had promised her not to let the general public know anything of her private life until she gave me leave to do so.
