This short story, later published in the anthology Pistols for Two (and more recently in the updated collection Snowdrift), first appeared in the UK magazine Woman’s Journal in 1936, and was later reprinted in the Australian Woman’s Weekly in June of 1937.

We present it here in this early form paying special note to the lavishly illustrated front page, not to mention the fascinating advertisements surrounding the story that are a window into the era in which it was written.
