Benkovitz A26. Toledano B52b. Both stories originally appeared in Granta, a Cambridge University publication, in 1906 and 1907, respectively, years Firbank spent at Trinity Hall, during which he converted to Roman Catholicism (lesbian nuns became a literary specialty). Gorey was extremely fond of Firbank and counted him among his important literary influences (a sentiment Firbank expressed often about Oscar Wilde, whose son, Vyvyan Holland, had decided against publishing "The wavering Disciple" in The Crescent, another Cambridge publication, because Holland thought the story unsuited to the tastes of the university's "hearty, rowing, drinking, swearing" undergraduates).
