"The Residence of Whitminster" is a short story by James Rhodes Montague. Dr. Thomas Ashton was a wealthy man and childless, and he had adopted the orphan son of his wife's sister, Frank Sydall. Then one day came a letter from an Irish peer, the Earl of Kildonan, who had known Dr. Ashton at college, putting it to the doctor whether he would consider taking into his family the Viscount Saul, the Earl's heir, and acting in some sort as his tutor. Lord Kildonan was shortly to take up a post in the Lisbon Embassy, and the boy was unfit to make the voyage. Now almost a century later, the new occupants of Whitminster, Dr. Ashton's former home, are about to uncover the details of the tragic death of the young Viscount Saul.
