Katharine Fullerton Gerould’s collection brings together twelve stories about choices made under social, emotional and moral pressure. The characters move through drawing rooms, secluded houses and unfamiliar surroundings where a gesture or an encounter can unsettle the assumptions on which a life has been built.
The contents range from An Honest Man and Habakkuk to Miss Marriott and the Faun, The Knight’s Move and The Penalties of Artemis. In the final story, Belshazzar’s Letter, an apparent communication through a ouija board exposes tensions between what people know and what they wish others to believe.
This complete 1922 collection preserves all twelve stories and their endings. Its original title and copyright pages distinguish the collection’s publication from the earlier magazine appearances of individual pieces.
