Tout cela pourrait être supportable si Lawrence, mon créateur, cessait de me faire des cachotteries et d'insister pour que j'habite le palais quelque temps, une solution qui, à mon goût, me rapproche un peu trop de Sytry, le prince des chenapans !"

Bon, je ne vais pas vous mentir plus longtemps, je déteste toutes les bestioles, qu'importe l'espèce animale.

"Se il ricorso della data è più di una semplice coincidenza - e per quanto mi riguarda ne sono certo - se ne deve arguire che la strana donna comparsa per due volte lungo il viale nel giorno della vigilia dei Morti, o era un fantasma o, cosa più probabile e preoccupante insieme, una donna in carne ed ossa invasata da una maliarda". Edith Wharton fu scrittrice di trame di spettri che appaiono nel lucore lunare, su di un ponte inumidito dal freddo notturno.

Un racconto giallo con evento soprannaturale che ben si sposa al fatto che il racconto è ambientato durante le festività natalizie alle quali stiamo andando incontro.
