Excerpt from The Enchanted: An Authentic Account of the Strange Origin of the New Psychical Club

Uncle Gus took all his other meals at a corner table, at which no one else presumed to seat himself except on the invitation of its honored monopolist. Over this table hung a half-length portrait of the dear old man, purchased by subscription. It repre sented bith not a whit pinker than the living original, with perhaps a flattery of hair over the temples, the mouth curving at the ends in a truth ful smile, the eyes bright and friendly, the head canted a trifle on one side, the forefinger of the right hand inserted between the third and fourth buttons of the vest. Having sat expressly for this speaking likeness, it was but natural that Uncle Gus should always uphold its fidelity by his pose and manner. It was noticed that he never stood erect in the club without inclining his head markedly on one side, and exploring the interior of his vest with his right hand, while his winning smile became even more expansive as years rolled on.
