Barnes meets a striking stranger, a gold tressed woman unseen by her, and is barred by a spade wielding man. O'Dowd greets Barnes warmly and jokes about Curtis the ill man while recalling past kindnesses and potential kinship.
Barnes learns of a lurking danger as O'Dowd hints at a visiting beauty and a shadowy plot. A book agent and a scheming landlord keep watch while Barnes suspects a wire is in play and a late night car race stirs tension.
A note found by Barnes in a tavern room hints a hook agent’s visit and possible theft. Police and county officials question Barnes and nearby lodgers as they join O Dowd in leading a search across Green Fancy for clues to the shooting of Paul. The group, including Lyndon Rushcroft and his daughter, discuss stage life while an expedition is planned near the estate.
Wealthy New Yorker Thomas K Barnes joins a touring troupe led by Lynden Rushcroft and Miss Thackeray at a New England tavern. A mysterious girl drives Barnes to Green Fancy, a house of mystery where two mounted men depart in odd circumstances, one murdered and the other dying. Barnes stays to clear his name.
A passage describes a man who believes a car seen at Hart's Tavern the day before is the same vehicle involved in a key gesture. He would swear before a jury it is the same car and suspects the car’s occupant or driver at Green Fancy may have sent or received a message via a small book agent.
Barnes revisits Green Fancy and encounters a markedly different but equally mystifying reaction. The piece notes the contrasting mood and leaves the outcome unresolved.
