About this ebook

"Tales of two people" by Anthony Hope is a collection of novelettes and short stories. This collection includes:
"Helena's Path" - Ambrose Calverley takes up residence at Scarsmore Castle on the coast of Yorkshire. Fond of sea bathing, he finds that the path to the beach, the 'Beach Path', which passes through the grounds of Nab Grange, has been blocked off by the new owner, the widowed Anglo-Italian lady Helena, Marchesa di San Servolo. Although neither meets, a dispute begins between them concerning access to the path. Neither will give way, the lady is prepared to go to court, and Lyndeborough calls her bluff...
"Mrs. Thistleton's Princess"
Tregaskis, the narrator of the story is a country gentleman, who meets the exiled Princess Vera of Boravia. Mr. and Mrs Thistleton, who invited Tregaskis, are negotiating for the return of the Princess's private fortune, but are unsuccessful. To pay off Tregaskis fee, the impoverished princess is forced to accept the position of governess in the household, known simply as Fräulein Friedenburg. When a neighbour, an up-and-coming stockbroker, becomes engaged to the eldest daughter of the house, instead of the princess (as she had hoped), she is forced to leave…
"The Necessary Resources"
Prince Julian, the pretender to the throne of a European country, is living in London with the mysterious Mrs. Rivers. Byers, a financial speculator, is persuaded by her to provide support to the prince, but in fact, contrives rumors that will cause the country's stock to rise and fall in value. In the end, the prince does not return to his country, but he does marry Mrs. Rivers. Byers makes a fortune and later stands for Parliament.

Author

Anthony Hope

Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born in 1863 and, after taking a degree at Oxford University, was called to the bar in 1887. He initially combined a successful career as a barrister with writing but the immediate success of his tenth book, The Prisoner of Zenda (1894), allowed him to become a full-time writer. The novel spawned a new genre – Ruritanian romance – and has been adapted numerous times for film, television and stage. In all, Hope wrote thirty-two works of fiction and an autobiography. At the close of the First World War he was knighted for his contribution to propaganda work. Hope died in 1933.
