Name:Smith
Birthdate:Oct 24
Location:California, United States
"'Why, I believe you're Smith,' he cried; and then after an instant's stare, 'and yet I'm not sure.'

'I have a card, I think,' said the unknown, with baffling solemnity--'a card with my real name, my titles, offices, and true purpose on this earth.'

He drew out slowly from an upper waistcoat pocket a scarlet card-case, and as slowly produced a very large card. Even in the instant of its production, they fancied it was of a queer shape, unlike the cards of ordinary gentlemen. But it was there only for an instant; for as it passed from his fingers to Arthur's, one or another slipped his hold. The strident, tearing gale in that garden carried away the stranger's card to join the wild waste paper of the universe; and that great western wind shook the whole house and passed."

-- Ch. 1, Manalive, G. K. Chesterton



Reader, writer, geek, depressive optimist, procrastinator, lunatic, and dilettante. Omnivorously fannish.

Always glad to be friended.
