Synopses & Reviews
From The Magic Egg: The pretty little theater attached to the building of the Unicorn Club had been hired for a certain January afternoon by Mr. Herbert Loring, who wished to give therein a somewhat novel performance, to which he had invited a small audience consisting entirely of friends and acquaintances. Loring was a handsome fellow about thirty years old, who had traveled far and studied much. He had recently made a long sojourn in the far East, and his friends had been invited to the theater to see some of the wonderful things he had brought from that country of wonders. As Loring was a club-man, and belonged to a family of good social standing, his circle of acquaintances was large, and in this circle a good many unpleasant remarks had been made regarding the proposed entertainment -- made, of course, by the people who had not been invited to be present. Some of the gossip on the subject had reached Loring, who did not hesitate to say that he could not talk to a crowd, and that he did not care to show the curious things he had collected to people who would not thoroughly appreciate them. He had been very particular in regard to his invitations. * Also included in this volume are 'His Wife's Deceased Sister, ' The Widow's Cruise, Captain Eli's Best Ear, Love Before Breakfast, The Staying Power of Sir Rohan, A Piece of Red Calico, The Christmas Wreck, My Well and What Came Out of It, Mr. Tolman, My Unwilling Neighbor, and Our Archery Club.
