pub One.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. THE six stories in this volume are the result of some three or four years of occasional work. The dates of their writing are far apart, their origins are various. None of them are connected directly with personal ex-periences.

For instance, the last story in the volume, the one I call Pathetic, whose first title is Il Conde (misspelt by-the-by) is an almost verbatim transcript of the tale told me by a very charming old gentleman whom I met in Italy. I don’t mean to say it is only that. Anybody can see that it is something more than a verbatim report, but where he left off and where I began must be left to the acute dis-crimination of the reader who may be interested in the problem.

All I can say is that the personality of the narrator was extremely suggestive quite apart from the story he was telling me
