Pritchel, who must have been a witness to her daughter's death refuses to say anything about the incident and locks himself in a room. The sheriff arrests Flint and locks him up in the county jail but Flint disappears from the jail without a trace. He had not broken out. He had walked out, out of the cell, out of the jail, out of town and apparently out of the county - no trace, no sign, no man who had seen him or seen anyone who might have been him. Sheriff approaches uncle Gavin and tells him the story - highlighting the fact that there was no need for Flint to first confess to the murder, get himself arrested and then vanish off the face of the earth. In the meantime, various landlords have shown interest in buying off Pritchel's land and have made a handsome offer. The adjustor is ready to pay the insurance money for the policy which was taken on the daughter. Pritchel sends an invite to both the sheriff and Uncle Gavin to witness these two events of selling of his land and collecting the insurance check. During the course of events, the three men watch Pritchel add sugar to whisky and then add water to it - a mistake in the execution of making a traditional toddy. This sets of a chain of events which lead to the unmasking of a very clever but daring villain who was on the verge of getting away with triple murder.

account ofthisquestion:Can the Great Personage perform the challenging feat of combining traditional"literary" appeal with a competent puzzle? Could that be adetectivestory he's reading? I can't tell, but WilliamFaulknerdid read them. It used to be considered axiomatic byaestheticiansof the detective story that the genre could not absorb what were called the higher literary values. Too much emphasis on character interest would wreck the "glitteringmechanism" of the puzzle plot, declared Dorothy L. Sayers, the great Golden AgeAuthorityon such things, at one point (she later Changed Her Mind). Modern mystery genre critics tend not to concern themselves overmuch, if at all, with mere "glittering mechanisms" and http://gameofmurder.blogspot.com/2012/03/error-in-chemistry-william-faulkner.html thus are free to praiseanythingthat the Literary Titan might produce in a vaguely mysterious line,whetheror not it offers an interestingpuzzleplot. a Queen'sQuorumtitle William Faulkner, one of the greatest figures in twentieth-century American literature,publishedKnight's Gambit, a collection of what are called "six mystery stories," in 1949, though they were written at various times in the 1930s and 1940s. The publication history is as follows: "Smoke" (Harper's Magazine, 1932) "Monk" (Scribner's http://thepassingtramp.blogspot.com/2012/05/dynamism-knights-gambit-1949-william.html Magazine, 1937) "Hand Upon the Waters" (Saturday Evening Post, 1939) "Tomorrow" (Saturday Evening Post, 1940) "An Error in Chemistry" (1941,publishedinEllery Queen's Mystery Magazine in1946) Knight's Gambit (1942, rejected by Harper's and subsequently revised forKnight's Gambit, 1949) In 1949, the same year Knight's Gambit waspublished, Faulkner won the Nobel PrizeforLiterature.

Is Knight's Gambit one of the cornerstone mystery short storycollections? Personally, I would say no. First, half the stories are not even really detective, or even mystery, stories. Second, one of the three that is a mystery/detective story is not very good. Theremainingtwo, "Smoke" and"An Error in Chemistry," are great, but a two out of six success rate means that the majority of Faulkner's plotting gambits fail. There's a lot of literarydynamism in Faulkner, God knows, but also fatal structural weaknesses, if one is looking at him as a detective fiction writer. grisly crimes To be sure, insomerespects Faulkner and the mystery sto
