Edgar Allan Poe 
Assignation [EPUB ebook] 

The main plot begins when the man is wandering the streets of Venice and comes across a woman who screams because she sees her baby in the water. She is not actually trying to get the baby out of the water though instead a man from across the water jumps in, after the narrator has arrived and saves the baby. From here it becomes clear that the woman may have dropped the baby into the water by herself…
