Excerpt from O Splendid Sorcery

Timidly I come to the telling of it although it has been with me for many long years. Day and night it has cried to me to send it forth, but I lacked the words to dress it as it should be dressed. For, although the incidents were simple ones, there was about the very smallest of them an air of glamorous mystery that seemed to come from my aunt herself, and splendid words are necessary to carry that elusive glamour to the reader. That is the fear that has kept me from the telling - the fear that is on me now.
