Introduction
A short parody that really has nothing to do with the story but serves as an introduction.
To paraphrase Isaac Azimov, I have one unbreakable rule: I may not harm a little girl, or through inaction allow a little girl to come to harm.
A friend of mine had interested me in his collection of Grecian urns and I fell in love with their art and beauty and soon connected with other collectors worldwide to start my own endeavor. There was a spare room in the house that I devoted to nothing but the display and spent many hours running my hands over the intricate detail and studying them closely.
I also devoted a section in my library to nothing but the catalogue and photograph books devoted to the genre. It proved to be an interesting pastime and I traveled considerably to many locations in the search for rare and exceptionally beautiful specimens to add to my collection. One piece in particular had caught my eye, and an antiquities dealer in Istanbul negotiated with me and we settled for what I considered to be a fair and reasonable price. I spent a considerable amount of money on the crating and courier delivery of the work. I was so excited upon its arrival, I gave it the centre of my specimen room and spent many hours carefully removing it from its crate. The cover or lid of the urn, had been sealed with a hard wax and that alone, required many hours of careful and tedious work to unseal, before it yielded its secrets.
You can imagine my surprise when I discovered a tightly rolled scroll of writing material, not unlike paper, which was enclosed in what appeared to be a velvet like bag. I carefully unrolled the scroll and found stories, written in a calligraphic hand, in, of all languages, the Queen's English. I sent the scroll off to Cambridge for further study and below is one of stories I transcribed by hand:
