"The Lost Clue" by O. F. Walton is an early 20th-century story about Captain Kenneth Fortescue. He deals with problems from his family's past and the trouble caused by his father's poor money management. The story looks at the relationships and duties that shape Fortescue's life as he fights loss and money troubles. Captain Fortescue starts his travels at Birmingham's New Street Station after getting a telegram that his father is not well. The busy station shows how different Fortescue's mood is since he is thinking about his family's past. He also thinks about Lady Violet, whom he meets unexpectedly and who seems to live in a world far from his own. This opening prepares the reader for personal struggles and eventual uncovering of secrets as the characters' lives cross in moving ways.
