This week, we bring you part I of chapter XIII of Phantastes, in which we get our second major break in the narrative; Anondos tells us the story of Cosmo von Wehrstahl, who likes reflective antiquaries more than is good for him.

We will return in two weeks with the remainder of this chapter. Until then, stay tuned for next week! We'll release G.K. Chesterton's "Second Childhood" and George Colman's "Lodgings for Single Gentlemen" on Tuesday.
