  • The Philanderers
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    Five Englishmen were watching a camp fire in the centre of a forest clearing in mid-Africa. They did not speak, but sat propped against logs, smoking. One of the five knocked out the ashes of his pipe upon the ground; a second, roused by the movement, picked up a fresh billet of wood with a shiver and threw it on to the fire, and the light for a moment flung a steady glow upon ...

  • The Witness for the Defense
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    The beginning of all this difficult business was a little speech which Mrs. Thresk fell into a habit of making to her son. She spoke it the first time on the spur of the moment without thought or intention. But she saw that it hurt. So she used it again-to keep Henry in his proper place. 'You have no right to talk, Henry,' she would say in the hard practical voice which so...

    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    It was eleven o’clock at night when Surgeon Wyley of His Majesty’s ship Bonetta washed his hands, drew on his coat, and walked from the hospital up the narrow cobbled street of Tangier to the Main-Guard by the Catherine Port. In the upper room of the Main-Guard he found Major Shackleton of the Tangier Foot taking a hand at bassette with Lieutenant Scrope of Trelawney’s Regiment...

  • The Broken Road
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    It was the Road which caused the trouble. It usually is the road. That and a reigning prince who was declared by his uncle secretly to have sold his country to the British, and a half-crazed priest from out beyond the borders of Afghanistan, who sat on a slab of stone by the river-bank and preached a djehad. But above all it was the road-Linforth’s road. It came winding down fr...

  • The Four Feathers
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    Lieutenant Sutch was the first of General Feversham’s guests to reach Broad Place. He arrived about five o’clock on an afternoon of sunshine in mid June, and the old red-brick house, lodged on a southern slope of the Surrey hills, was glowing from a dark forest depth of pines with the warmth of a rare jewel. Lieutenant Sutch limped across the hall, where the portraits of the Fe...

  • At the Villa Rose
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    It was Mr. Ricardo’s habit as soon as the second week of August came round to travel to Aix-les-Bains, in Savoy, where for five or six weeks he lived pleasantly. He pretended to take the waters in the morning, he went for a ride in his motor-car in the afternoon, he dined at the Cercle in the evening, and spent an hour or two afterwards in the baccarat-rooms at the Villa des Fl...

  • Clementina
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    The landlord, the lady, and Mr. Charles Wogan were all three, it seemed, in luck’s way that September morning of the year 1719. Wogan was not surprised, his luck for the moment was altogether in, so that even when his horse stumbled and went lame at a desolate part of the road from Florence to Bologna, he had no doubt but that somehow fortune would serve him. His horse stepped ...

  • Running Water
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    The Geneva express jerked itself out of the Gare de Lyons. For a few minutes the lights of outer Paris twinkled past its windows and then with a spring it reached the open night. The jolts and lurches merged into one regular purposeful throb, the shrieks ...

  • Running Water
    A. E. W. Mason / AEWMason / E. W. Mason A. E. W. Mason / EWMason AEWMason
    The Geneva express jerked itself out of the Gare de Lyons. For a few minutes the lights of outer Paris twinkled past its windows and then with a spring it reached the open night. The jolts and lurches merged into one regular purposeful throb, the shrieks of the wheels, the clatter of the coaches, into one continuous hum. And already in the upper berth of her compartment Mrs. Th...
