+    _A discerning critic once pointed out that Edgar Allen Poe possessed
+    not so much a distinctive style as a distinctive _manner_. So
+    startlingly original was his approach to the dark castles and
+    haunted woodlands of his own somber creation that he transcended the
+    literary by the sheer magic of his prose. Something of that same
+    magic gleams in the darkly-tapestried little fantasy presented here,
+    beneath Evelyn Smith's eerily enchanted wand._
+
+
+     the
+ doorway
+
+ _by ... Evelyn E. Smith_
+
+
+ A man may wish he'd married his first love and not really mean
+ it. But an insincere wish may turn ugly in dimensions unknown.
+
+
+"It is my theory," Professor Falabella said, helping himself to a
+cookie, "that no one ever really makes a decision. What really happens
+is that whenever alternative courses of action are called for, the
+individuality splits up and continues on two or more divergent planes,
+very much like the parthenogenesis of a unicellular animal ... Delicious
+cookies these, Mrs. Hughes."
+
+"Thank you, Professor," Gloria simpered. "I made them myself."
+
+"You must give us the recipe," said one of the ladies--and the others
+murmured agreement, glad to get their individualities on a plane they
+could understand.
+
+"Since most decisions are hardly as momentous as the individual
+imagines," Professor Falabella continued, "and since the imagination of
+the average individual is very limited, many of these different
+planes--or, as they are colloquially known, space-time continuums--may
+exist in close, even tangential relationship."
+
+Gloria rose unobtrusively and took the teapot to the kitchen for a
+refill. Her husband stood by the sink moodily drinking whiskey out of
+the bottle so as to avoid having to wash a glass afterward.
+
+"Bill, you're not being polite to our guests. Why don't you go out and
+listen to Professor Falabella?"
+
+"I can hear him perfectly well from here," Bill muttered--and indeed the
+professor's mellifluous tones pervaded every nook and cranny of the
+thin-walled house. "Long-winded cultist! What is he a professor of, I'd
+like to know."
+
+"Professor Falabella is _not_ a cultist!" affirmed Gloria angrily. "He's
+a great philosopher."
+
+Bill Hughes said something unprintable. "If I'd married Lucy Allison,"
+he continued unkindly, "she'd never have filled the house with
+long-haired cultists on my so-called day of rest."
+
+Gloria's soft chin trembled, and her blue eyes filled with tears. She
+was beginning to put on weight, he noticed. "I've been hearing nothing
+but Lucy Allison, Lucy Allison, Lucy Allison for the past year. Y-you
+said yourself she looked like a horse."
+
+"Horses," he observed, "have sense."
+
+He was being brutal, but he couldn't help it and didn't want to.
+Professor Falabella was only the most long-winded of a long series of
+mystics Gloria was forever dragging into the house. _The trouble with
+the half-educated_, he thought bitterly, _is that they seek culture in
+the most peculiar places_.
+
+"I'll bet she would have let me have peace on Sunday," he said. "It just
+goes to show what happens when you marry a woman solely for her looks."
+He drained the bottle; then hurled it into the garbage pail with a
+resounding crash.
+
+Gloria's shoulders shook as she filled the kettle. "I wish I'd decided
+to be an old maid," she sobbed.
+
+A very unlikely possibility, he thought. Even now, shopworn as she was,
+Gloria could have a fairly wide range of suitors should something happen
+to him. She looked sexy, but how deceiving appearances could be!
+
+Professor Falabella was still talking as Bill and Gloria emerged from
+the kitchen. "I believe that it is possible for an individual who exists
+on a limited plane of imagination to transpose from one plane to an
+adjacent one without difficulty ... Great Heavens, what was that?"
+
+Something had whisked past the archway leading into the foyer.
+
+"Don't pay any attention," Gloria smiled nervously. "The house is
+haunted."
+
+"My dear," one of the ladies offered, "I know of the most marvelous
+exterminator--"
+
+"The house," Gloria assured her coldly, "really _is_ haunted. We've been
+seeing things ever since we moved in."
+
+And she really believed it, Bill thought. Believed that the house was
+haunted, that is. Of course he had seen things too--but he was
+enlightened enough to know that ghosts don't exist, even if you do see
+them.
+
+Professor Falabella cleared his throat. "As I was saying, it is possible
+to send the individual through another--well, dimension, as some popular
+writers would have it, to one of his other spatial existences on the
+same temporal plane. It is merely necessary for him to find the Door."
+
+"Nonsense!" Bill interrupted. "Holy, unmitigated nonsense!"
+
+Every head swivelled to look at him. Gloria restrained tears with an
+effort.
+
+"Brute," someone muttered.
+
+But ridicule apparently only stimulated the professor. He beamed. "You
+don't believe me. Your imagination cannot extend to the comprehension of
+the multifariousness of space."
+
+"Nonsense," Bill said again, but less confidently.
+
+"I believe that I have discovered the Doorway," Professor Falabella
+continued, "and the Way is Open. However, most people fear to penetrate
+the unknown, even though it is to enter another phase of their own
+existence. I do admit that the shock of spatial transference, no matter
+how slight, combined with the concrete awareness of a previous spatial
+relationship would be perhaps too much for the keenly sensitive
+individualism ..."
+
+Bill opened his mouth.
+
+"I know what you're about to say, young man!"
+
+"You don't have to be a mind reader to know that," Bill assured him. His
+consonants were already a little slurred and he knew Gloria was ashamed
+of him. It served her right. He'd been ashamed of her for years.
+
+Professor Falabella smiled. His teeth were very sharp and white. "Very
+well, Mr. Hughes, since you are a skeptic, perhaps you will not object
+to being the subject of our experiment yourself?"
+
+"What kind of an experiment?" Bill asked suspiciously.
+
+"Merely to go through the Door. Any door can become the Doorway, if it
+is transposed into the proper spatial dimension. That door, for
+instance." Professor Falabella waved his hand toward the doorway of what
+Gloria liked to call "Bill's study."
+
+"You mean you just want me to open the door and go into that room?" Bill
+asked incredulously. "That's all?"
+
+"That is all. Of course, you go with the awareness that it is the
+threshold of another plane and that you step voluntarily from this
+existence to an adjacent one."
+
+"Sure," Bill said. He had just remembered there was a nearly full bottle
+of Calvert in the bottom drawer of the desk. "Sure. Anything to oblige."
+
+"Very well. Go to the door, and keep remembering that of your own free
+will you are passing from this plane to the next."
+
+"Look out, everybody!" Bill called raucously, as he pulled open the
+door. "I'm coming in on the next plane!"
+
+No one laughed.
+
+He stepped over the threshold, shutting the door firmly behind him. A
+wonderful excuse to get away from those blasted women. He'd climb out of
+the window as soon as he'd collected the whiskey and give them a nervous
+moment thinking he'd really passed into another existence. It would
+serve Gloria right.
+
+For a moment, as he crossed, he had a queer sensation. Maybe there was
+something in what Professor Falabella said. But no, there he was in the
+study. All that mumbo jumbo was getting him down, that was all. He was a
+nervous man--only nobody appreciated the fact.
+
+Taking a cigarette out of the pack in his pocket, he reached for the
+lighter on his desk. It wasn't there. Time and time again he'd told
+Gloria not to touch his things, and always she'd disobeyed him. Company
+was coming and she must tidy up. Cooking and cleaning--that was all she
+was good for. But this was carrying tidiness too far; she'd even removed
+the ashtrays.
+
+And where did that glass block paperweight come from? He'd had a penguin
+in a snowstorm and he'd been happy with it. This was too much. He'd tell
+Gloria off. Stealing a man's penguin!
+
+He opened the door into the living room and bumped into Lucy Allison.
+"Don't you think you've been in there long enough, Bill?" she asked
+acridly. "I'm sure your guests would appreciate catching a glimpse of
+you."
+
+"Why, hello, Lucy," he said, surprised. "I didn't know Gloria had
+invited you--"
+
+"Gloria, Gloria, Gloria!" Lucy cut across his sentence. "You've been
+talking about nothing but that dumb little blonde for months." Because
+of the people in the room beyond, her voice was pitched low, but her
+pale eyes glittered unpleasantly behind her spectacles. "I wish you had
+married her. You'd have made a fine pair."
+
+Gently, caressingly, the short hairs on the back of Bill's neck rose.
+
+"Come back in here," Lucy said, hauling him back into the living room
+where a number of people who had been enjoying the domestic fracas
+suddenly broke into loud and animated chatter. "Dr. Hildebrand was
+telling us all about nuclear fission."
+
+"Can't find an ashtray," Bill muttered, seizing on something tangible.
+"Can't find an ashtray in the whole darn place."
+
+"We've been over this millions of times, Bill. You know--" she smiled at
+the guests, a smile that carefully excluded Bill. "--I'm allergic to
+smoke, but I never can get my husband to remember he isn't to smoke
+inside the house."
+
+"Now take the neutron, for example," Dr. Hildebrand said through a
+mouthful of pâté. "What is the neutron? It is only ... What was that?"
+
+The wraith of Gloria crossed the foyer and disappeared. Bill took a step
+forward; then stood still.
+
+Lucy smiled self-consciously. "That's nothing at all. The house is
+merely haunted."
+
+Everyone laughed.
+
+"Forgot something," Bill muttered, and dashed back into the study. He
+yanked open the bottom drawer of the desk. Sure enough, there was a
+bottle of Schenley, nearly a third full. "There are some advantages," he
+thought as he tilted it to his lips, "in having a limited imagination."

+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p class="cap"><span class="smcap">"It is</span> my theory," Professor Falabella
+said, helping himself to a
+cookie, "that no one ever really
+makes a decision. What really happens
+is that whenever alternative
+courses of action are called for, the
+individuality splits up and continues
+on two or more divergent
+planes, very much like the parthenogenesis
+of a unicellular animal ...
+Delicious cookies these, Mrs.
+Hughes."</p>
+
+<p>"Thank you, Professor," Gloria
+simpered. "I made them myself."</p>
+
+<p>"You must give us the recipe,"
+said one of the ladies&mdash;and the
+others murmured agreement, glad
+to get their individualities on a
+plane they could understand.</p>
+
+<p>"Since most decisions are hardly
+as momentous as the individual
+imagines," Professor Falabella continued,
+"and since the imagination
+of the average individual is very
+limited, many of these different
+planes&mdash;or, as they are colloquially
+known, space-time continuums&mdash;may
+exist in close, even tangential
+relationship."</p>
+
+<p>Gloria rose unobtrusively and
+took the teapot to the kitchen for a
+refill. Her husband stood by the sink
+moodily drinking whiskey out of
+the bottle so as to avoid having to
+wash a glass afterward.</p>
+
+<p>"Bill, you're not being polite to
+our guests. Why don't you go out
+and listen to Professor Falabella?"</p>
+
+<p>"I can hear him perfectly well
+from here," Bill muttered&mdash;and indeed
+the professor's mellifluous
+tones pervaded every nook and
+cranny of the thin-walled house.
+"Long-winded cultist! What is he
+a professor of, I'd like to know."</p>
+
+<p>"Professor Falabella is <i>not</i> a
+cultist!" affirmed Gloria angrily.
+"He's a great philosopher."</p>
+
+<p>Bill Hughes said something unprintable.
+"If I'd married Lucy
+Allison," he continued unkindly,
+"she'd never have filled the house
+with long-haired cultists on my so-called
+day of rest."</p>
+
+<p>Gloria's soft chin trembled, and
+her blue eyes filled with tears. She
+was beginning to put on weight,
+he noticed. "I've been hearing nothing
+but Lucy Allison, Lucy Allison,
+Lucy Allison for the past year.
+Y-you said yourself she looked like
+a horse."</p>
+
+<p>"Horses," he observed, "have
+sense."</p>
+
+<p>He was being brutal, but he
+couldn't help it and didn't want to.
+Professor Falabella was only the
+most long-winded of a long series
+of mystics Gloria was forever dragging
+into the house. <i>The trouble
+with the half-educated</i>, he thought
+bitterly, <i>is that they seek culture in
+the most peculiar places</i>.</p>
+
+<p>"I'll bet she would have let me
+have peace on Sunday," he said. "It
+just goes to show what happens
+when you marry a woman solely for
+her looks." He drained the bottle;
+then hurled it into the garbage pail
+with a resounding crash.</p>
+
+<p>Gloria's shoulders shook as she
+filled the kettle. "I wish I'd decided
+to be an old maid," she sobbed.</p>
+
+<p>A very unlikely possibility, he
+thought. Even now, shopworn as
+she was, Gloria could have a fairly
+wide range of suitors should something
+happen to him. She looked
+sexy, but how deceiving appearances
+could be!</p>
+
+<p>Professor Falabella was still talking
+as Bill and Gloria emerged
+from the kitchen. "I believe that it
+is possible for an individual who
+exists on a limited plane of imagination
+to transpose from one plane
+to an adjacent one without difficulty ...
+Great Heavens, what was
+that?"</p>
+
+<p>Something had whisked past the
+archway leading into the foyer.</p>
+
+<p>"Don't pay any attention," Gloria
+smiled nervously. "The house is
+haunted."</p>
+
+<p>"My dear," one of the ladies offered,
+"I know of the most marvelous
+exterminator&mdash;"</p>
+
+<p>"The house," Gloria assured her
+coldly, "really <i>is</i> haunted. We've
+been seeing things ever since we
+moved in."</p>
+
+<p>And she really believed it, Bill
+thought. Believed that the house
+was haunted, that is. Of course he
+had seen things too&mdash;but he was
+enlightened enough to know that
+ghosts don't exist, even if you do
+see them.</p>
+
+<p>Professor Falabella cleared his
+throat. "As I was saying, it is possible
+to send the individual through
+another&mdash;well, dimension, as some
+popular writers would have it, to
+one of his other spatial existences
+on the same temporal plane. It is
+merely necessary for him to find
+the Door."</p>
+
+<p>"Nonsense!" Bill interrupted.
+"Holy, unmitigated nonsense!"</p>
+
+<p>Every head swivelled to look at
+him. Gloria restrained tears with
+an effort.</p>
+
+<p>"Brute," someone muttered.</p>
+
+<p>But ridicule apparently only
+stimulated the professor. He
+beamed. "You don't believe me.
+Your imagination cannot extend to
+the comprehension of the multifariousness
+of space."</p>
+
+<p>"Nonsense," Bill said again, but
+less confidently.</p>
+
+<p>"I believe that I have discovered
+the Doorway," Professor Falabella
+continued, "and the Way is Open.
+However, most people fear to penetrate
+the unknown, even though it
+is to enter another phase of their
+own existence. I do admit that the
+shock of spatial transference, no
+matter how slight, combined with
+the concrete awareness of a previous
+spatial relationship would be perhaps
+too much for the keenly sensitive
+individualism ..."</p>
+
+<p>Bill opened his mouth.</p>
+
+<p>"I know what you're about to
+say, young man!"</p>
+
+<p>"You don't have to be a mind
+reader to know that," Bill assured
+him. His consonants were already
+a little slurred and he knew Gloria
+was ashamed of him. It served her
+right. He'd been ashamed of her
+for years.</p>
+
+<p>Professor Falabella smiled. His
+teeth were very sharp and white.
+"Very well, Mr. Hughes, since you
+are a skeptic, perhaps you will not
+object to being the subject of our
+experiment yourself?"</p>
+
+<p>"What kind of an experiment?"
+Bill asked suspiciously.</p>
+
+<p>"Merely to go through the Door.
+Any door can become the Doorway,
+if it is transposed into the
+proper spatial dimension. That
+door, for instance." Professor Falabella
+waved his hand toward the
+doorway of what Gloria liked to
+call "Bill's study."</p>
+
+<p>"You mean you just want me to
+open the door and go into that
+room?" Bill asked incredulously.
+"That's all?"</p>
+
+<p>"That is all. Of course, you go
+with the awareness that it is the
+threshold of another plane and that
+you step voluntarily from this existence
+to an adjacent one."</p>
+
+<p>"Sure," Bill said. He had just
+remembered there was a nearly full
+bottle of Calvert in the bottom
+drawer of the desk. "Sure. Anything
+to oblige."</p>
+
+<p>"Very well. Go to the door, and
+keep remembering that of your own
+free will you are passing from this
+plane to the next."</p>
+
+<p>"Look out, everybody!" Bill
+called raucously, as he pulled open
+the door. "I'm coming in on the
+next plane!"</p>
+
+<p>No one laughed.</p>
+
+<p>He stepped over the threshold,
+shutting the door firmly behind
+him. A wonderful excuse to get
+away from those blasted women.
+He'd climb out of the window as
+soon as he'd collected the whiskey
+and give them a nervous moment
+thinking he'd really passed into another
+existence. It would serve
+Gloria right.</p>
+
+<p>For a moment, as he crossed, he
+had a queer sensation. Maybe there
+was something in what Professor
+Falabella said. But no, there he
+was in the study. All that mumbo
+jumbo was getting him down, that
+was all. He was a nervous man&mdash;only
+nobody appreciated the fact.</p>
+
+<p>Taking a cigarette out of the pack
+in his pocket, he reached for the
+lighter on his desk. It wasn't there.
+Time and time again he'd told
+Gloria not to touch his things, and
+always she'd disobeyed him. Company
+was coming and she must tidy
+up. Cooking and cleaning&mdash;that was
+all she was good for. But this was
+carrying tidiness too far; she'd even
+removed the ashtrays.</p>
+
+<p>And where did that glass block
+paperweight come from? He'd had
+a penguin in a snowstorm and he'd
+been happy with it. This was too
+much. He'd tell Gloria off. Stealing
+a man's penguin!</p>
+
+<p>He opened the door into the living
+room and bumped into Lucy
+Allison. "Don't you think you've
+been in there long enough, Bill?"
+she asked acridly. "I'm sure your
+guests would appreciate catching a
+glimpse of you."</p>
+
+<p>"Why, hello, Lucy," he said, surprised.
+"I didn't know Gloria had
+invited you&mdash;"</p>
+
+<p>"Gloria, Gloria, Gloria!" Lucy
+cut across his sentence. "You've
+been talking about nothing but that
+dumb little blonde for months."
+Because of the people in the room
+beyond, her voice was pitched low,
+but her pale eyes glittered unpleasantly
+behind her spectacles. "I wish
+you had married her. You'd have
+made a fine pair."</p>
+
+<p>Gently, caressingly, the short
+hairs on the back of Bill's neck
+rose.</p>
+
+<p>"Come back in here," Lucy said,
+hauling him back into the living
+room where a number of people
+who had been enjoying the domestic
+fracas suddenly broke into loud
+and animated chatter. "Dr. Hildebrand
+was telling us all about
+nuclear fission."</p>
+
+<p>"Can't find an ashtray," Bill muttered,
+seizing on something tangible.
+"Can't find an ashtray in the
+whole darn place."</p>
+
+<p>"We've been over this millions
+of times, Bill. You know&mdash;" she
+smiled at the guests, a smile that
+carefully excluded Bill. "&mdash;I'm
+allergic to smoke, but I never can
+get my husband to remember he
+isn't to smoke inside the house."</p>
+
+<p>"Now take the neutron, for example,"
+Dr. Hildebrand said
+through a mouthful of p&acirc;t&eacute;. "What
+is the neutron? It is only ... What
+was that?"</p>
+
+<p>The wraith of Gloria crossed the
+foyer and disappeared. Bill took a
+step forward; then stood still.</p>
+
+<p>Lucy smiled self-consciously.
+"That's nothing at all. The house
+is merely haunted."</p>
+
+<p>Everyone laughed.</p>
+
+<p>"Forgot something," Bill muttered,
+and dashed back into the
+study. He yanked open the bottom
+drawer of the desk. Sure enough,
+there was a bottle of Schenley, nearly
+a third full. "There are some
+advantages," he thought as he tilted
+it to his lips, "in having a
+limited imagination."</p>

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers

+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+    _A discerning critic once pointed out that Edgar Allen Poe possessed
+    not so much a distinctive style as a distinctive _manner_. So
+    startlingly original was his approach to the dark castles and
+    haunted woodlands of his own somber creation that he transcended the
+    literary by the sheer magic of his prose. Something of that same
+    magic gleams in the darkly-tapestried little fantasy presented here,
+    beneath Evelyn Smith's eerily enchanted wand._
+
+
+     the
+ doorway
+
+ _by ... Evelyn E. Smith_
+
+
+ A man may wish he'd married his first love and not really mean
+ it. But an insincere wish may turn ugly in dimensions unknown.
+
+
+"It is my theory," Professor Falabella said, helping himself to a
+cookie, "that no one ever really makes a decision. What really happens
+is that whenever alternative courses of action are called for, the
+individuality splits up and continues on two or more divergent planes,
+very much like the parthenogenesis of a unicellular animal ... Delicious
+cookies these, Mrs. Hughes."
+
+"Thank you, Professor," Gloria simpered. "I made them myself."
+
+"You must give us the recipe," said one of the ladies--and the others
+murmured agreement, glad to get their individualities on a plane they
+could understand.
+
+"Since most decisions are hardly as momentous as the individual
+imagines," Professor Falabella continued, "and since the imagination of
+the average individual is very limited, many of these different
+planes--or, as they are colloquially known, space-time continuums--may
+exist in close, even tangential relationship."
+
+Gloria rose unobtrusively and took the teapot to the kitchen for a
+refill. Her husband stood by the sink moodily drinking whiskey out of
+the bottle so as to avoid having to wash a glass afterward.
+
+"Bill, you're not being polite to our guests. Why don't you go out and
+listen to Professor Falabella?"
+
+"I can hear him perfectly well from here," Bill muttered--and indeed the
+professor's mellifluous tones pervaded every nook and cranny of the
+thin-walled house. "Long-winded cultist! What is he a professor of, I'd
+like to know."
+
+"Professor Falabella is _not_ a cultist!" affirmed Gloria angrily. "He's
+a great philosopher."
+
+Bill Hughes said something unprintable. "If I'd married Lucy Allison,"
+he continued unkindly, "she'd never have filled the house with
+long-haired cultists on my so-called day of rest."
+
+Gloria's soft chin trembled, and her blue eyes filled with tears. She
+was beginning to put on weight, he noticed. "I've been hearing nothing
+but Lucy Allison, Lucy Allison, Lucy Allison for the past year. Y-you
+said yourself she looked like a horse."
+
+"Horses," he observed, "have sense."
+
+He was being brutal, but he couldn't help it and didn't want to.
+Professor Falabella was only the most long-winded of a long series of
+mystics Gloria was forever dragging into the house. _The trouble with
+the half-educated_, he thought bitterly, _is that they seek culture in
+the most peculiar places_.
+
+"I'll bet she would have let me have peace on Sunday," he said. "It just
+goes to show what happens when you marry a woman solely for her looks."
+He drained the bottle; then hurled it into the garbage pail with a
+resounding crash.
+
+Gloria's shoulders shook as she filled the kettle. "I wish I'd decided
+to be an old maid," she sobbed.
+
+A very unlikely possibility, he thought. Even now, shopworn as she was,
+Gloria could have a fairly wide range of suitors should something happen
+to him. She looked sexy, but how deceiving appearances could be!
+
+Professor Falabella was still talking as Bill and Gloria emerged from
+the kitchen. "I believe that it is possible for an individual who exists
+on a limited plane of imagination to transpose from one plane to an
+adjacent one without difficulty ... Great Heavens, what was that?"
+
+Something had whisked past the archway leading into the foyer.
+
+"Don't pay any attention," Gloria smiled nervously. "The house is
+haunted."
+
+"My dear," one of the ladies offered, "I know of the most marvelous
+exterminator--"
+
+"The house," Gloria assured her coldly, "really _is_ haunted. We've been
+seeing things ever since we moved in."
+
+And she really believed it, Bill thought. Believed that the house was
+haunted, that is. Of course he had seen things too--but he was
+enlightened enough to know that ghosts don't exist, even if you do see
+them.
+
+Professor Falabella cleared his throat. "As I was saying, it is possible
+to send the individual through another--well, dimension, as some popular
+writers would have it, to one of his other spatial existences on the
+same temporal plane. It is merely necessary for him to find the Door."
+
+"Nonsense!" Bill interrupted. "Holy, unmitigated nonsense!"
+
+Every head swivelled to look at him. Gloria restrained tears with an
+effort.
+
+"Brute," someone muttered.
+
+But ridicule apparently only stimulated the professor. He beamed. "You
+don't believe me. Your imagination cannot extend to the comprehension of
+the multifariousness of space."
+
+"Nonsense," Bill said again, but less confidently.
+
+"I believe that I have discovered the Doorway," Professor Falabella
+continued, "and the Way is Open. However, most people fear to penetrate
+the unknown, even though it is to enter another phase of their own
+existence. I do admit that the shock of spatial transference, no matter
+how slight, combined with the concrete awareness of a previous spatial
+relationship would be perhaps too much for the keenly sensitive
+individualism ..."
+
+Bill opened his mouth.
+
+"I know what you're about to say, young man!"
+
+"You don't have to be a mind reader to know that," Bill assured him. His
+consonants were already a little slurred and he knew Gloria was ashamed
+of him. It served her right. He'd been ashamed of her for years.
+
+Professor Falabella smiled. His teeth were very sharp and white. "Very
+well, Mr. Hughes, since you are a skeptic, perhaps you will not object
+to being the subject of our experiment yourself?"
+
+"What kind of an experiment?" Bill asked suspiciously.
+
+"Merely to go through the Door. Any door can become the Doorway, if it
+is transposed into the proper spatial dimension. That door, for
+instance." Professor Falabella waved his hand toward the doorway of what
+Gloria liked to call "Bill's study."
+
+"You mean you just want me to open the door and go into that room?" Bill
+asked incredulously. "That's all?"
+
+"That is all. Of course, you go with the awareness that it is the
+threshold of another plane and that you step voluntarily from this
+existence to an adjacent one."
+
+"Sure," Bill said. He had just remembered there was a nearly full bottle
+of Calvert in the bottom drawer of the desk. "Sure. Anything to oblige."
+
+"Very well. Go to the door, and keep remembering that of your own free
+will you are passing from this plane to the next."
+
+"Look out, everybody!" Bill called raucously, as he pulled open the
+door. "I'm coming in on the next plane!"
+
+No one laughed.
+
+He stepped over the threshold, shutting the door firmly behind him. A
+wonderful excuse to get away from those blasted women. He'd climb out of
+the window as soon as he'd collected the whiskey and give them a nervous
+moment thinking he'd really passed into another existence. It would
+serve Gloria right.
+
+For a moment, as he crossed, he had a queer sensation. Maybe there was
+something in what Professor Falabella said. But no, there he was in the
+study. All that mumbo jumbo was getting him down, that was all. He was a
+nervous man--only nobody appreciated the fact.
+
+Taking a cigarette out of the pack in his pocket, he reached for the
+lighter on his desk. It wasn't there. Time and time again he'd told
+Gloria not to touch his things, and always she'd disobeyed him. Company
+was coming and she must tidy up. Cooking and cleaning--that was all she
+was good for. But this was carrying tidiness too far; she'd even removed
+the ashtrays.
+
+And where did that glass block paperweight come from? He'd had a penguin
+in a snowstorm and he'd been happy with it. This was too much. He'd tell
+Gloria off. Stealing a man's penguin!
+
+He opened the door into the living room and bumped into Lucy Allison.
+"Don't you think you've been in there long enough, Bill?" she asked
+acridly. "I'm sure your guests would appreciate catching a glimpse of
+you."
+
+"Why, hello, Lucy," he said, surprised. "I didn't know Gloria had
+invited you--"
+
+"Gloria, Gloria, Gloria!" Lucy cut across his sentence. "You've been
+talking about nothing but that dumb little blonde for months." Because
+of the people in the room beyond, her voice was pitched low, but her
+pale eyes glittered unpleasantly behind her spectacles. "I wish you had
+married her. You'd have made a fine pair."
+
+Gently, caressingly, the short hairs on the back of Bill's neck rose.
+
+"Come back in here," Lucy said, hauling him back into the living room
+where a number of people who had been enjoying the domestic fracas
+suddenly broke into loud and animated chatter. "Dr. Hildebrand was
+telling us all about nuclear fission."
+
+"Can't find an ashtray," Bill muttered, seizing on something tangible.
+"Can't find an ashtray in the whole darn place."
+
+"We've been over this millions of times, Bill. You know--" she smiled at
+the guests, a smile that carefully excluded Bill. "--I'm allergic to
+smoke, but I never can get my husband to remember he isn't to smoke
+inside the house."
+
+"Now take the neutron, for example," Dr. Hildebrand said through a
+mouthful of pate. "What is the neutron? It is only ... What was that?"
+
+The wraith of Gloria crossed the foyer and disappeared. Bill took a step
+forward; then stood still.
+
+Lucy smiled self-consciously. "That's nothing at all. The house is
+merely haunted."
+
+Everyone laughed.
+
+"Forgot something," Bill muttered, and dashed back into the study. He
+yanked open the bottom drawer of the desk. Sure enough, there was a
+bottle of Schenley, nearly a third full. "There are some advantages," he
+thought as he tilted it to his lips, "in having a limited imagination."

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
