Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Second Latchkey" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Annesley Grayle, a young woman trapped in a stifling existence under the care of her overbearing guardian, Mrs. Ellsworth. As she seeks to break free from her mundane life, an unexpected adventure begins when she answers an advertisement for a marriage proposal, leading her to a fateful meeting with a mysterious man at the Savoy Hotel. The opening of the novel introduces Annesley on the brink of a life-changing decision as she approaches the Savoy, feeling both excitement and dread about her rendezvous with Mr. Smith. However, her plans take an unexpected turn when chaos erupts outside the hotel. Amid the confusion, she encounters another man who, under intriguing circumstances, requests her help. Their interaction evolves into a spontaneous partnership as Annesley finds herself drawn into a daring escapade that challenges her courage and reveals her longing for adventure and connection in a life filled with restrictions. The tension builds as Annesley navigates her evolving relationship with her mysterious companion while grappling with the threats posed by unsavory figures from his past.
