Title: Horrid presentation of one of James' least known but most riveting tales
Review: This is a review of the Kindle version, which appears to be derived from an OCR scan with little in the way of proofreading, correction, or emendation. The indignities perpetrated on this rather gripping yet largely unread tale from James' late middle years (contemporary with The Awkward Age and What Maisie Knew) render this presentation largely unreadable. Instead of evincing wonderment at James' clever marvels of device and artifice, it leaves one, as it were, wincing at such infelicities as the chapter entitled "I11" and the passage which informs us "I fi*f. A"6-who, having heard the last words of the two girl-s,//' c ame, accompanied by the servant, down the - hally". The Master surely deserves much better.
