- The Windsor is a British magazine. Its footnote p507 states "Copyright, 1906, by E. Nesbit, in the United States of America." Each illustration is clearly signed "MAURICE GREIFFENHAGEN" over "1905". The FictionMags Index lists this publication of the story and no other (but commonly lists UK and US publications that differ by a month or none, or a year).
