| Summary | "Välkehtivä Rubiini" by J. S. Fletcher is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a desperate protagonist who finds himself in a precarious situation at Portsmouth’s Clarence Quay, hoping to earn a shilling for a telegram request. He encounters a mysterious stranger who hands him a message intended for a man named Holliment, which leads him into a web of intrigue involving danger and potential crime. At the start of the narrative, the main character is in dire straits, having spent his last pennies to reach the quay in hopes of finding work. After seizing the opportunity to deliver a message for a hurried stranger, he is soon drawn into a world of secrets surrounding Holliment's eclectic store. As he navigates through odd encounters and hints of danger, he grapples with unanswered questions about the significance of the message he's carrying, the peculiarities of the people he meets, and the mysterious circumstances that seem to envelop his new role as Holliment’s temporary assistant. The plot is infused with suspense, suggesting that the protagonist's seemingly simple task is fraught with unexpected and potentially perilous implications.
