Excerpt from Hypnotic Tales: And Other Tales It was the last day of their sojourn in the mountains, where, for nearly two months, the queerly assorted company had dwelt together in a state of peace and harmony which would have been impossible if they had been carefully selected with a view to pleasing one another. And as they gathered in a large half circle about the open wood-fire, they spoke regretfully of the fact that their holiday was over, and that the next day would see them scattered in different directions. The Rich Presbyterian was going back to New York; the School-Boy was due at his boarding-school; the Fiddler had an engagement to play in Chicago; the Boston Girl was invited to Lenox; and as for the Detective, nobody knew in what direction his mysterious duties might lead him. To-night a new guest had joined the company - an elderly man of scholarly aspect, with a long, snow-white beard.
