Note: A passage from chapter III of The London Adventure (1924). Untitled in the original, it is here referred to by the title that Borges and Bioy assigned when they excerpted it in Cuentos breves y extraordinarios. In it, Machen (working on writing The London Adventure) reflects on how writers tend to have a single theme they express over and over, and relates a story by Henry James that stuck in his mind, about a writer who said that his works were like an Eastern carpet with a repeating pattern, if readers could find the hidden pattern.
