Note: Not a speculative story so much as a story about stories.
First published in Beasts and Super-Beasts, London, John Lane, 1914.
Synopsis: A man shares a train compartment with a mother and her very restless children. The mother tries to entertain them with a story, which is too edifying to hold their attention. By contrast, the gentleman satisfies them with the tale of a horribly, intolerably good little girl who comes to a bad end.
