The Magic Egg and Other Stories
Short Stories, by Frank StocktonLet us read the story again," she said, "and see what is the matter with it." When we had finished its perusal, Hypatia remarked: "It is quite as good as many of the stories you have had printed, and I think it very interesting, although, of course, it is not equal to `His Wife's Deceased Sister.'
The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Stories
Short Stories, by Mark TwainThis delightful collection of lesser-known gems by Mark Twain begins with the story of a town called Hadleyburg, which prides itself on the honesty of its citizens.

The Man Who Kept His Money In A Box
Short Stories, by Anthony TrollopeAs I was not myself possessed of anything of that sort, and had no intention of going to any foreign court, I could not argue the matter with her.
