About the story.

A journalist brings back a story about an aristocratic family and the extraordinary appearance of one of its members. For an editor trying to manage a newspaper, deciding what can safely be printed is a problem of its own.

Father Brown becomes interested in a tale shaped by inherited reputation and the appetite for sensational explanations. The puzzle offers several reasons to be wary of a story that sounds wonderfully ready for publication.
