The Necklace Is Mine
Author(s):
Agnes Emelie Peterson
Wealthy Mrs. Edgerton gives her home to be used as a children's hospital, and to establish a fund for its maintenance she sells her diamond necklace. The bank's car is to call for the necklace the evening after the reception Mrs. Edgerton is giving to her friends. Among the guests is Isabel Ritchie, widow of Mrs. Edgerton's brother, who is desperately in need of money, and as desperately in love with handsome and unscrupulous Jim Parrish, for whom a penniless woman holds no charm. Learning that the necklace is in the house safe, and that only one servant is home, Isabel remains after the other guests depart, succeeds in isolating the house from outside communication, and forces Mrs. Edgerton to turn the necklace over to her. Through the shrewdness of Hannah, the maid, the tables are suddenly turned, and Isabel is outwitted.
