Excerpt from Sentiment
William tore along the platform of the suburban station with a newspaper streaming in his hand, while angry or encouraging shouts were hurled at him from several points by of ficials; bounded upon the step of the slowly moving train; and was pitched forward into the carriage by a brace of porters who stood ready. The door was slammed; William picked himself off the knees and toes of the other passengers, and gathered his hat from the floor at the far end of the carriage where it had rebounded from the nose of a lady in the corner. Then he sat down, opened his newspaper, and glancing round on faces flushed With pain and That was a close shave, he observed genially.

About the author
Vincent O'Sullivan
70 books6 followersVincent O'Sullivan was an American short story writer, poet and critic. Born in New York City to Eugene and Christine O'Sullivan, he began his education in the New York public school system and completed it in Britain. He lived comfortably in London, traveling often to France, until in 1909 he lost his income from the family coffee business when his brother Percy made a spectacularly mistimed futures gamble at the New York Coffee Exchange. The entire family was ruined, and Vincent was destitute for the remaining years of his life.
His works dealt with the morbid and decadent. He was a friend of Oscar Wilde (to whom in his disgrace he was often generous), Leonard Smithers, Aubrey Beardsley and other fin-de-siècle figures. O'Sullivan produced his first collection of supernatural fiction, A Book of Bargains, in 1896. It contains the pact-with the devil story "The Bargain of Rupert Orange", and The Business of Madame Jahn and "My Enemy and Myself", which both feature reanimated corpses. "When I Was Dead" (1905), "Verschoyle's House" (1915) and "The Burned House" (1916) are ghost stories, while "Will" is a tale of psychic vampirism.
