The Lady Bantock's boudoir, Bantock Hall, Rutlandshire, a spacious room handsomely furnished (chiefly in the style of Louis the Fourteenth) and lighted by three high windows, facing the south-west. A door between the fireplace and the windows leads to his lordship's...
She had not meant to stay for the service. The door had stood invitingly open, and a glimpse of the interior had suggested to her the idea that it would make good copy. Old London Churches: Their Social and Historical Associations. It would be easy to collect...
I had a vexing dream one night, not long ago: it was about a fortnight after Christmas. I dreamtI flew out of the window in my nightshirt. I went up and up. I was glad thatI was going up. They have been noticing me,I thought to myself. If anything,I have been a bit...
Said a friend of mine to me some months ago: Well now, why don't you write a SENSIBLE book? I should like to see you make people think.
Charmed. Very hot weather we've been having of late - I mean cold. Let me see, I did not quite catch your name just now. Thank you so much. Yes, it is a bit close. And a silence falls, neither of us being able to think what next to say.
Once upon a time, I wrote a little story of a woman who was crushed to death by a python. A day or two after its publication, a friend stopped me in the street. Charming little story of yours, he said, that about the woman and the snake; but it's not as funny as some...

Years ago, when I was very small, we lived in a great house in a long, straight, brown-coloured street, in the east end of London. It was a noisy, crowded street in the daytime; but a silent, lonesome street at night, when the gas-lights, few and far between, partook of...
IN WHICH THE AUTHOR SEEKS TO CAST THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS STORY UPON ANOTHER.
Now, which would you advise, dear? You see, with the red I shan't be able to wear my magenta hat.
The advantage of literature over life is that its characters are clearly defined, and act consistently. Nature, always inartistic, takes pleasure in creating the impossible. Reginald Blake was as typical a specimen of the well-bred cad as one could hope to find...
His name is George, generally speaking. Call me George! he says to the heroine. She calls him George (in a very low voice, because she is so young and timid). Then he is happy.
They are very pretty, some of them, said the Woman of the World; not the sort of letters I should have written myself.
I begin this way because it is the proper, orthodox, respectable way to begin, andI have been brought up in a proper, orthodox, respectable way, and taught to always do the proper, orthodox, respectable thing; and the habit clings to me....
Peter Hope was tall and thin, clean-shaven but for a pair of side whiskers close-cropped and terminating just below the ear, with hair of the kind referred to by sympathetic barbers as getting a little thin on the top, sir, but arranged with economy, that everywhere is...
It is not a large house, I said. We don't want a large house. Two spare bedrooms, and the little three-cornered place you see marked there on the plan, next to the bathroom, and which will just do for a bachelor, will be all we shall require - at all events, for the...
