The Hand story, summary

     A judge, whose name was M.Bermutier, was giving his opinion about the Saint-Cloud mystery, an inexplicable crime in Paris, to a crowd of people. A woman from the crowd said that the crime verged on the supernatural levels. The judge did not agree with the word supernatural and decided to tell the crowd the story of an affair that he took charge of, that did not make any sense. He lived in a small city, called Ajaccio, where a number of murders took place because of old vendettas. Because an Englishman had just hired a little villa at the city, many people suspected him for being responsible for the murders. The judge was able to meet him and talk to him. He also got the chance to see his collection of rifles. But what stood out was a dried human hand with an iron chain around the wrist. The Englishman after being asked by the judge said that the hand belonged to his best enemy and that the chain chain was always needed,because it tried to run away. After a year the judge learnt that the Englishman was murdered. This born many questions to him. In the villa after examimating the body they found out that he got strangled by a skeleton, like the human hand that was missing. Three months later on the grave of the Englishman the same hand was found. In the end, the explanation of the judge towards the crowd for this crime was that the Englishman's enemy was alive and came to get his hand back. The story was very interesting and had an unexpected end to it, with the murder of the Englishman.

The hand, summary

   The story begins in Paris at a gathering, where people are discussing the mysterious, unsolved Saint-Cloud Crime. Then M. Bermutier, a judge, offers to tell, the group, about a case in Ajaccio, Corsica. In Ajaccio, M. Bermutier learned about a bizarre new resident: Sir John Rowell. Rumors grew around him, saying he had runaway from his father. So the judge hearing this rumors decided to meet him and talk with him. He encountered him while hunting. The judge during a visit on Sir John's parlor noticed a strange object: a dried, black human hand. Sir John calmly explained it was his "best enemy" from America. A year later, Sir John Rowell was found murdered in his locked parlor.He was strangled. The police made an observation that the marks on his neck were made by a "skeleton". The chained hand was gone...While M. Bermutier was looking at the dead body he found a finger from the vanished hand. Three months later, the mystery deepened when the missing hand was found on Sir John Rowell's grave. The judge believed that the "owner of the hand was not dead"and had returned... He ends the story saying it was probably revenge.

• The story was interesting, but it kinda gives you the chills. Like when you hear about a hand that was severed near the forearm with exposed tendons and traces of old blood, it's a bit gross...But still it was a fun story!!!

The landlady, summary

Stella St. 

There once was a young British man, named Billy Weaver. On his way to travel somewhere, his train made a stop in Bath. It was around 9:00 p.m., so Billy wanted to stay somewhere for the night, since it had got late. 

 On his way to a hotel, he stumbled across a house that had a printed notice propped up it's downstairs' s window that had "BED AND BREAKFAST" written on it. Billy decided to give it a shot

 He rang the bell and a kind looking, middle aged woman answered the door immediately, welcoming him in. She gave him a tour but before he could go to bed, the lady asked Billy to go downstairs and sign a paper. He agreed to do so. 

Before writing his name, he noticed that there were only two other names written, which was weird, because the price was pretty low. The two names seemed oddly familiar to Billy, as if those guys were famous or something similar. The lady told him ,that they have been living with her for some time now and that they are young and handsome like him. Billy was pretty curious and asked if there was someone else that had stayed throughout this years. At the end, the lady looked at him and answered: "Only you".

This story leaves me with a lot of questions. What did the lady mean at the end? Why do the two names seem familiar to Billy? Why did the lady accept only young, handsome men? I feel like There should be more in the story to answer these questions.
