Many a day we rowed together on that quiet stream...and many a fairy tale had been extemporized...yet none of these tales got written down: they lived and died...each in its own golden afternoon until there came a day when, as it chanced, one of the listeners petitioned that the tale might be written down for her.

When little Alice follows the Black Rat down into the gaping darkness of an open grave, she falls and falls. And soon
