The Missing Count at Lord's and London's Shadow
The narrator, a Todmeston schoolboy in his eighteenth year, recalls a cricket match at Lord's that ends in a century. A life changing telegram reveals his father’s disappearance and a family crisis from Russia. His English mother and Russian father shape a tension between duty, fate, and a hopeful return to Oxford.
