| Summary | "Under Lock and Key: A Story. Volume 3 (of 3)" by T. W. Speight is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work continues the intricate narrative surrounding a mystery tied to the Great Mogul Diamond, following characters such as Captain Ducie and James Jasmin. The story intertwines themes of deception, identity, and the quest for wealth, as characters navigate treacherous waters both literally and metaphorically. The opening of the third volume sees Captain Ducie recovering from an injury while hiding in London under an alias, Mr. Stonor. His relationship with James Jasmin deepens, as Jasmin becomes increasingly suspicious that Ducie possesses the coveted Great Diamond. Meanwhile, Ducie finds himself enamored with Mirpah Van Loal, a beautiful young woman whose father is a diamond merchant. Their interactions are charged with tension as Ducie contemplates a marriage proposal, unaware of the lurking threats posed by Cleon, the mysterious mulatto servant. Themes of secrecy, love, and betrayal begin to unfold as hidden motivations and past connections resurface, setting the stage for further developments in ensuing chapters.
