Transcriber’s Notes
Contents page: The author’s name was repeated next to each entry instead of using brackets to group their story topics.
Hyphenated words WITHIN CHAPTERS were standardized, but not across chapter lines.
The author’s italics were left as printed even when inconsistent.
Pages 29 and 30: The last 6 paragraphs were moved to align with the left margin to conform with the author’s format of other chapters.
Spelling and punctuation have been preserved as printed in the original publication except as follows:
1. Page 19: Changed printing error of “h s” from “Take account of h s acts,” to “Take account of his acts,”
2. Page 61: Added accent to DERNIÈRE in chapter title to match it with Contents page.
3. Page 127: Changed “in a multiude of stories.” to “in a multitude of stories.”
4. Page 157: Changed “as she breaks down pyhsically,” to “as she breaks down physically,”
5. Page 166: Changed “Matt’s” to “Nat’s” in this sentence: “The story impulse lies, dormant, in the business of Nat’s funeral.”
