* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Published at 1937, this short story involves shout outs to Creator/WilliamShakespeare (Theatre/{{Hamlet}} and Theatre/{{Macbeth}}), Literature/{{Ivanhoe}}, Literature/LornaDoone, and Creator/AgathaChristie most famous creation, Literature/HerculePoirot, all of them literary works that are well known today. Even the reference to Penguin Books is still valid! But sadly, one of the most important references on this short story, Mr. Pinkerton, the detective created by David Frome, has been out of print for years, enabling this trope. A pity because a great deal of the enjoyment comes from the reader’s knowledge of this particular character, but even so, this is still now an enjoyable reading.
