Life of Alma Bentley and the Starfield mystery
An elderly witness recalls Alma Bentley, her guardian Amos Bentley, and the doomed love entanglements surrounding Alma. Charles Lathrope, a young clergyman, and Godfrey Owen shape a tale of poverty, charity, and hidden motives as Alma’s fate intertwines with a city life and a solemn, fateful decision. The narrative shifts to the late man’s deathbed mercy and the lingering question of what justice and happiness finally prevail.
