Oscar Wilde

"The Sphinx Without a Secret" 
An Etching by Oscar Wilde — Narrated by Stephen Byrne 
In this exquisitely crafted tale of mystery and melancholy, Oscar Wilde draws us into the shadowed streets of Victorian London where secrets linger behind silk veils and whispered rumours. When Lord Murchison encounters the hauntingly beautiful Lady Alroy—a woman as enigmatic as a sphinx—he becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind her curious behaviour and frequent visits to a private lodging house. 
But the deeper he digs, the more elusive the answer becomes. 
Is Lady Alroy hiding a lover, or simply hiding herself? And what happens when the truth, once unearthed, leaves only a hollow echo in its place? 
With Wilde’s trademark wit and tragic irony, The Sphinx Without a Secret is a meditation on love, illusion, and the terrible finality of truth.

Edward Mills and George Benton -...

Mark Twain

These two were distantly related to each other seventh cousins, or something of that sort. While still babies they became orphans, and were adopted by the Brants, a childless couple, who quickly grew very fond of them. The Brants were always saying: “Be pure, honest, sober, industrious, and considerate of others, and success in life is assured.” The children heard this repeated some thousands of times before they understood it; they could repeat it themselves long before they could say the Lord's Prayer; it was painted over the nursery door, and was about the first thing they learned to read. It was destined to be the unswerving rule of Edward Mills's life. Sometimes the Brants changed the wording a little, and said: “Be pure, honest, sober, industrious, considerate, and you will never lack friends.”

He published his first work in 1828, the novel Fanshawe; he later tried to suppress it, feeling it was not equal to the standard of his later work.[He published several short stories in periodicals, which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The following year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at the Boston Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment as consul took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to Concord in 1860.

Ultimately, the narrator's actions result in hearing a thumping sound, which the narrator interprets as the dead man's beating heart.
