Features: In The Affectionate Aunt, Linda's aunt, Lorraine, is a wealthy and beautiful widow who falls deeply in love with a man wearing a black eye patch. Linda, analyzing various clues, suspects him of being a murderer, so she asks Mason to investigate the matter. However, before Mason can get involved, Lorraine runs off with the man, taking a large sum of money with her. Mason follows the trail but finds the man's dead body, a mentally disturbed Lorraine, and Linda's fiancé, George, with the money missing.
The Stammering Bishop: It is widely known that a true bishop cannot stammer, and conversely, a stammerer cannot become a bishop. However, Mason encounters a man claiming to be a bishop who stammers. This man not only drags Mason into a complicated inheritance case but also gets him entangled in a murder case from which he cannot escape. Yet, when Mason finally manages to uncover the truth with great effort, it becomes perfectly clear that the stammerer is indeed a genuine bishop.
