> The D’Arblay Mystery by R. Austin Freeman

## Answer

The D’Arblay Mystery by R. Austin Freeman develops Class and Social Observation across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

The book contrasts the genteel world of Highgate and the artistic studio with the squalid, secondhand districts of London, reflecting on social strata and the hidden connections between them.

Gray's observations of the secondhand district, the shop, and the Morrises' demeanor underscore class distinctions and social milieu.
