"Anthony Cragg's Tenant" by Agnes Giberne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. This story focuses on the life of Anthony Cragg, a furniture dealer, and the arrival of his new tenants, Mr. Dale and his daughter Pattie. As Mr. Dale seeks a quiet home, mystery looms around his past, hinting at deeper troubles that may affect their lives. At the start of the book, we meet Mrs. Cragg, who is impatiently waiting for her husband’s attention while managing her opinions on their new tenant's appearance. Mr. Dale, along with his daughter Pattie, arrives to inquire about a house to rent. As Mr. Cragg considers the lease, he is subtly influenced by Pattie's innocent demeanor, despite Mrs. Cragg’s dismissive views of their shabby appearance. The narrative sets an intriguing dynamic of class and societal judgment, while also hinting at the unsettling secrets surrounding Mr. Dale's past, which becomes central to the development of their intertwined fates.
