| Summary | "The Cardinal Moth" by Fred M. White is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Sir Clement Frobisher, a wealthy orchid enthusiast, who discovers a rare flower known as the Cardinal Moth and becomes embroiled in intrigue, as his obsession with beautiful orchids draws various characters into a web of deceit, crime, and possibly murder. The characters include the sinister Paul Lopez, who presents the mysterious flower, and Angela, Frobisher's ward, who finds herself caught in the machinations surrounding the orchid. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Sir Clement Frobisher in his lavish orchid-house, indulging in the beauty of his floral creations while contemplating his wealth and reputation. As he converses with his acquaintance Paul Lopez, excitement mounts when Lopez presents him with the Cardinal Moth. However, the delight quickly turns to tension when the terrified butler, Hafid, overhears their conversation and fears the flower's dark history. Hafid's frantic warnings hint at a deeper, menacing narrative involving the flower, setting the scene for the mysterious and possibly fatal unfolding of events centered around the prized orchid. With layers of intrigue established early on, readers are drawn into a world where beauty and danger intertwine. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
