Not everyone abides by the same moral values. Not everyone agrees that a smile can fix up a bad day. At the end of each day, there might be a great moral attached, and on some days there may be none.

It is another exciting Mary Eliska Girl Detective whodunnit, with less romance than usual. The plot is that a couple had a room in which all walls and items are white. One day when they were away, a police officer walks in front of their house, he listens to a beautiful song. After some events, the officer enters the house and a lady wearing black is found dead in the white room. There are a lot of characters, about 15 suspects, and the plot twists many times "Eleven o'clock and a windy night!" might have been the cry of medieval watchmen at that hour on the 24th of July. Constable Mulligan was more reticent, as it formed no part of his duties to intimate publicly the time or the state of the weather. Nevertheless, the bells of the Anglican Church, Troy, London, S.W., chimed the hour through the clamor of a high wind; and those people who were not in bed must have decided to retire. Not that anyone appeared to be stirring. The lights were extinguished in all windows within the range of Mulligan's vision, and the flashing of his lantern on the doors and gates in Achilles Avenue showed that they were discreetly closed. Not even a tramp or a cat enlivened the roadway. Mulligan was apparently the sole waking person in a sleeping world. Few readers will anticipate the ending of the story.

Mary Eliska Girl Detective and The Mystery of the Gray Mask originally The Gray Mask a 1920 mystery by Charles Wadsworth Camp (1879-1936) currently in the public domain. Camp was a writer, a critic, and a foreign correspondent who suffered lung damage from exposure to mustard gas during World War I. The Camp detective mystery has been re-written by William A. Stricklin as part of a series of girl detective murder mysteries solved by his daughter as fictional Mary Eliska Girl Detective. This novel follows Mary Eliska who is a New York girl detective in love with the chief's daughter Margaret (Meg) In this story Mary Eliska Girl Detective and The Mystery of The Gray Mask in response to an unforeseen summons, Mary Eliska hurries along the hallway and opens the chief inspector's door. As she faces the rugged figure behind the desk, and gazes into those eyes whose somnolence conceals a perpetual vigil, her heart quickens. She had been assigned to the detective bureau less than six months. That brief period, however, had revealed a thousand eccentricities of her chief. The pudgy hand beating a tattoo on the table desk, the lips working at each other thirstily, the doubt that slipped from behind the veil of the sleepy eyes, were all like largely printed letters to Mary Eliska Girl Detective-letters that spelled delicate work for her, possibly an exceptional danger. Through episodic chapters of horror and crimes that follow Mary Eliska Girl and Meg discover crooks and romance. Mary Eliska Girl Detective and her chief's highly capable daughter Meg usually save one another at the last second, and in this Mary Eliska book perhaps Meg deserved be the main character. This is no book to read in a lonely house, though convinced that if it were begun under such conditions it would be finished after summoning a trusted good friend to keep close company... This book is the sixth published by Authors Press in a series of novels featuring fictional detective Mary Eliska as journalist and amateur sleuth, presented as more capable than the police, in the United States or perhaps in France as Mademoiselle Rouletabille (roule ta bille, or "Roll your marble") French slang for "Globetrotter", one who has been around the world and seen it all, expanded to connote a cool-headed, unfazeable, nonchalant person.

The Guarded Heights, written in 1921 by Wadsworth Camp, now in the public domain, has been rewritten as Mary Eliska and The Guarded Heights, by William A. Stricklin, and is the saga of Ed Hall as he struggles to make it big and thereby rise from his humble background. Ed never could be certain when he first conceived the preposterous idea that Mary Eliska ought to belong to him. The full realization, at any rate, came all at once, unexpectedly, destroying his dreary outlook, urging him to fantastic heights, and, for that matter, to rather curious depths. It was, altogether, a year of violent change. After a precarious survival of a rural education, he had done his best to save his father's livery business which cheap automobiles had persistently undermined. He liked that, for he had spent his vacations, all his spare hours, indeed, at the stable or on the road, so that by the time the crash came he knew more of horses and rode better than any hunting, polo-playing gentleman he had ever seen about that rich countryside. Nor was there anyone near his own age who could stand up to him in a rough-and-tumble argument. Yet he wondered why he was restless, not appreciating that he craved broader worlds to conquer. Then the failure came, and his close relation with the vast Stricklin estate of Oakmont, and the arrival of Mary Eliska, who disclosed such worlds and heralded the revolution. That spring of his year the stable and all its stock went to the creditors, and Albert Stricklin bought the small frame house just outside the village, on the edge of his estate, and drew his boundary around it. He was willing that the Halls should remain for the present in their old home at a nominal rent, and after a fashion, they might struggle along, for Ed's mother was exceptionally clever at cleansing fine laces and linens; the estate would have work for his father from time to time; as for himself, Stricklin's superintendent suggested, there were new and difficult horses at Oakmont and a scarcity of trustworthy grooms. Ed shook his head. "Sure, I want a job," he admitted, "but not as Albert Stricklin's servant, or anybody else's. I want to be my own boss." Ed hadn't guessed that his reputation as a horseman had travelled as far as the big house. The superintendent explained that it had, and that, living at home, merely helping out for the summer, he would be quite apart from the ordinary men around the stables. His parents sensed a threat. They begged him to accept. "We've got to do as Albert Stricklin wants at the start or he'll put us out, and we're too old to make another home." So Ed went with his head up, telling himself he was doing Albert Stricklin a favor; but he didn't like it, and almost at once commenced to plan to get away, if he could, without hurting his parents. Then Mary Eliska, just home from her last year at school, came into the stable toward the end of his day's work. Her overpowering father was with her, and her brother, Jack, who was about Ed's age. She examined interestedly the horse reserved for her, and one or two others of which she was envious. Ed wanted to stare at her. He had only glimpsed her casually and at a distance in summers gone by. Now she was close, and he knew he had never seen anything to match her slender, adolescent figure, or her finely balanced face with its intolerant eyes and its frame of blonde hair. Mary Eliska and The Guarded Heights is fiction.
