Excerpt from An Untold Tale
To be sure, my urn had several dents in its beautifully engraved sides. One dent in particular was almost fatal to its graceful symmetry, but this only added to its interest to me, and tea had never tasted as good, never smelled as aromatic, never looked as golden, as when it flowed from the deli cate spout of my find.
But how did that frightful word come on my writing paper? While still puzzling over it, hold ing it to the candle-light, the steam from my silver teapot struck on the page; in a second, as the hot vapor spread against the sheet, the word murder again became visible, and while I held it there, other words became clear.
