You're welcome.

My first exposure to her was in an old children's book I acquired when I was ten, titled More Tales to Tremble By (edited by Stephen P. Sutton), which also introduced me to the work of H. Russell Wakefield ("The Red Lodge"), Saki ("Sredni Vashtar"), Perceval Landon ("Thurnley Abbey"), William Hope Hodgson ("The Voice in the Night"), August Derleth ("The Extra Passenger"), M. R. James ("Casting the Runes"), and Margaret Irwin ("The Book"). Very few of these have suffered over the years; if anything, they have tended to grow with me, and Asquith's story (which also had a rather good adaptation on the old Thriller series hosted by Boris Karloff) certainly ranks high among them.
