Thanks for the bountiful stream of contributions, much appreciated.

I suppose the comment is here: https://freeread.com.au/@rglibrary/E...fulLondon.html

I just checked and it's absent from the epub version, although they both sit in the same line of this table: https://freeread.com.au/@rglibrary/E...W-Stories.html

While I'm at it, I may as well quote the first two paragraphs:
Quote:
This series of 16 illustrated stories appeared in the British Sunday newspaper The People from April 13 to July 27, 1924. The British Bibliography of Edgar Wallace (Adley & Lofts, 1969) attributes all of the stories to Edgar Wallace. However, only the first four actually appeared under the latter's name. All four feature, as a secondary character, a lady by the name of Tressa, who serves as a social counsellor to the main protagonists.

The remaining twelve stories, which form a separate series, describe the exploits of a young Australian socialite—Daphne Wyse—who works under false pretences for an organisation called "Social Emergencies.
