David Hartwell's introduction in Masterpieces of Fantasy and Wonder references the 1912 edition of Lucy Clifford's collection The Last Touches and Other Stories "from which this story is taken". Per internet booksellers, that hardcover collection was first published in 1892 in the UK by Adam and Charles Black.
