Transcriber’s Note: Archaic and variable spelling, as well as inconsistency in hyphenation, has been preserved as printed in the original book except for the changes that are listed at the [end] of the book. Missing quote marks and minor punctuation inconsistencies were silently corrected. However, punctuation has not been changed to comply with modern standards. A deviation in paragraph-ending punctuation in the original publication should be noted for paragraphs in which dialogue immediately followed. Both a comma and a colon were used and have been retained in this e-book. Illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they are not in the middle of a paragraph. All missing page numbers in this book were also omitted in the original publication. |
THE WEB
OF THE GOLDEN SPIDER
“With pretty art and a woman’s instinctive desire to please, she had placed the candle on a chair and assumed something of a pose.”
