  The Warden - Mr Harding and the...

  ANTHONY TROLLOPE.

  The warden of a charitable hospital in a cathedral town draws an income the reformers say is not his, and the only question in the book is what an honest man does when he finds out they may be right. Trollope wrote before breakfast, by his watch, at 250 words a quarter-hour; this short novel opened Barsetshire and is the gentlest anatomy of conscience in English — nobody is a villain, and it ends in the only way it can.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. ¿Cómo puede estar loco quien planea un crimen con tanta paciencia, tanta astucia, tanta perfección? 
   
  El narrador insiste en su cordura mientras confiesa lo indecible: durante siete noches vigiló el sueño de un anciano al que decía querer, obsesionado con un solo detalle intolerable —aquel ojo pálido, velado, de buitre. A la octava noche, actuó. 
   
  El cuerpo quedó oculto bajo las tablas del suelo. La policía no sospechó nada. Todo estaba resuelto. 
   
  Y entonces empezó a oírse un latido sordo, apagado, cada vez más fuerte, bajo el entarimado... 
   
  Un relato breve y devastador sobre la culpa que no se deja enterrar, narrado desde el interior de una mente que se desmorona.

  A country beauty goes up to London for a season with a plan, a maid and no money, and finds the town is playing the same game with better cards. Frances Aymar Mathews wrote light comedies of the eighteenth century for an American audience that loved them. The disguises are conventional and the dialogue is quick enough to carry them.
