Norna cast on her a look of supreme contempt; then, stepping to the window, seemed engaged in deep contemplation of the heavens, while the old maid-servant, Tronda, drawing close to her mistress, implored, for the sake of all that was dear to man or woman, “Do not provoke Norna of Fitful-head! You have no sic woman on the mainland of Scotland—she can ride on one of these clouds as easily as man ever rode on a sheltie.”
“I shall live to see her ride on the reek of a fat tar-barrel,” said Mistress Baby; “and that will be a fit pacing palfrey for her.[Pg 85]”
Again Norna regarded the enraged Mrs. Baby Yellowley with a look of that unutterable scorn which her haughty fea. . . Read More

I. Original Review
I've read a selection of five stories from this anthology of forty three:
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (1922) ** Un inicio inverosímil incluso para ser ficción
“The Diamond as Big as the Ritz” (1922) ** Como el guión de una película para TV

“A Debt of Honor” - 4 Stars
“The Room with the Green Blinds” - 5 Stars
“A Luckle
Antras susitikimas su Fitzgerald'u ir nė kiek nenusivyliau. Kaip tik pakerėjo. Spalvinga, jaučiama prabanga, o kartu ir skausmas, keisti siekiai bei susipainiojimas, aukštuomenės išsišokimai bei vertybių ieškojimas. Apsakymai susiję su prarastąja karta, kiekviena istorija kažkuo panaši ir kitokia. N
"Shocking" as it may seem, I had never read even a single line written by F. Scott Fitzgerald till this week and this rather short collection of stories. Never watched any of the big screen adaptations of his novels either, most notably of The Great Gatsby. I had a feeling I'd love him - and in a wa
