Francis Scott Fitzgerald 
‚O Russet Witch!‘ [EPUB ebook] 

This short story was first published in the ‚Metropolitan, ‚ and first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922.
‚When this was written I had just completed the first draft of my second novel, and a natural reaction made me revel in a story wherein none of the characters need be taken seriously. And I’m afraid that I was somewhat carried away by the feeling that there was no ordered scheme to which I must conform. After due consideration, however, I have decided to let it stand as it is, although the reader may find himself somewhat puzzled at the time element. I had best say that however the years may have dealt with Merlin Grainger, I myself was thinking always in the present.‘
