Carnacki the Ghost Finder
by William Hope Hodgson
No. 1 THE GATEWAY OF THE MONSTER
In response to Carnacki's usual card of invitation to have dinner
and listen to a story, I arrived promptly at 427, Cheyne Walk, to
find the three others who were always invited to these happy little
times, there before me. Five minutes later, Carnacki, Arkright,
Jessop, Taylor and I were all engaged in the "pleasant occupation"
of dining.
"You've not been long away, this time," I remarked, as I finished
my soup; forgetting momentarily, Carnacki's dislike of being asked
even to skirt the borders of his story until such time as he was
ready. Then he would not stint words.
