Mr. Ledbetter's Vacation

Mr. Ledbetter's Vacation by H. G. Wells is a classic English story about a mild-mannered clergyman whose carefully guarded past complicates his friendship with the narrator. A chess player and a man of precise habits, Ledbetter finds himself shadowed by an episode he is reluctant to explain. Wells blends dry humor, social observation, and a touch of mystery in this literary tale.
