Note 120 — THE BREAKER OF EGGS.120
Reading edition
Béroalde de Verville: Le Moyen de Parvenir: Paris, Gamier Frères; also Fantastic Tales or The Way to Attain: translated by Arthur Machen: Carbonnek, 1890. Our extract is a blend of both versions, though we have adhered more closely than Machen to the original text. Vide also Excursus to this story.
