About this book

Disguise and an unexpected offer of pastry draw Prince Florizel and Colonel Geraldine into London's stranger company. Seeking amusement on a sleety March evening, they meet a young man who distributes cream tarts with extravagant courtesy and eats every one that is refused. Their invitation to supper turns a comic public spectacle into a private conversation full of hints and concealed identities.

Robert Louis Stevenson's 1882 collection brings together short fiction built around adventure, mystery and unusual encounters. In the diamond sequence, a bewildered young man named Francis receives advice from a stranger who recognizes the valuable stone in his pocket. Questions of ownership, family and trust make even a quiet conversation feel hazardous. The contents also range to a coastal pavilion and tales of shelter and hospitality. Readers can follow how formal manners and playful dialogue give ordinary meeting places an atmosphere of uncertainty.
