Rumor had it that not all her guests were flesh and blood, but that she had an antique ...

But I was not fated to go without supper, for, as I lay unrepentant, Amy, my little sister, crept into the room and brought me part of hers, and, what I more appreciated then, her sympathy and tears. God bless her! She was taken from us soon after to a ...

— M. or N. "Similia similibus curantur." • G.J. Whyte-Melville
... finished the enumeration I leaned back in my chair, utterly at a loss to account for this man or for what he had done.
