"From Ghaisttes, Ghoulies and long-leggity
Beasties and Things that go
Bump in the night—

"Good Lord, deliver us!"

NOTE

I have pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy of the proprietors of "Shurey's Publications" by whose permission "The Cigarette Case" is included in the present volume. Also it has been suggested that a definition should be given of the word that forms the volume's title. That word means "contrary to the course of the Sun."
