A man develops an obsessive passion for the talented violinist Rebecca. She "drives her suitor mad with jealousy over her love for a mechanical sex doll" (Ruth Scurr in the <em>Telegraph</em>)
According to reviews, this is an ambiguously-speculative story of madness. First published in The Editor Regrets, edited by George Joseph (Michael Joseph, 1937).
