The Man Who Wasn't By Guy Allen At the time it happened, I naturally believed it impossible for anyone to walk through a wall. So I was rather surprised when I heard a familiar cough behind me. I turned round, and there was Arthur Harris, smiling at me nervously. "Where did you come from?" I demanded. I was rather anxious to finish a serial in "Stupendous Stories", so with my customary sociableness, I had locked the door, told the landlady I was out, and pulled the blinds down to prevent any light from filtering out. So I was more than a little surprised to find Arthur standing there, especially when I noticed that the door was still locked. "Where did you come from?" I asked again. "I just thought I'd walk in and see you", said Arthur, "I've got something to tell you". "All right", I said, deciding to ignore the problem of his entrance for the time being, "Sit down". "I can't", he said wistfully, "I - er - " "Been learning to ride?" I asked. "There aren't any cellars below this house, are there?" "No", I said, wondering what had come overhim, "Why?" "I might have known there were none", he said "I'd have been down there by now if there were any". Then he shrugged his shoulders, and was about to sit down in the chair I had kicked over to him, when he seemed to remember something, and looked at me anxiously. "For goodness' sake", I said irritably, "Stop all this mysterious business and tell me what you've got to tell me". "It's very hard", said Arthur, "You probably won't understand what I'm talking about. I don't

O Homem Que Não Era, Por Guy Allen Na hora em que aconteceu, eu naturalmente acreditei que seria impossível pra alguém atravesar a parede. Então eu estava bastante surpreso quando uovi uma tosse familiar atrás de mim. Eu me virei, e lá estva Arthur Harris, sorrindo para mim nervosamente. "De onde você veio?" eu exigi. Eu estavá um tanto ansioso para terminar um periódico de "Histórias Estupendas", então com minha sociabilidade costumeira, eu havia trancadop a porta, dito a senhoria que estava fora, e abaixado as cortinas para evitar que qualquer luz se infiltrasse. Então eu estavá mais do que apenas um pouco surpreso em encontrar Arthur parado ali, especialmente quando notei que a porta ainda estava trancada "De onde você veio?" eu perguntei nivamente. "Eu apenas pensei em entrar e dar uma olhada em você", disse Arthur, "Eu tenho algo para te contar". "Tudo bem", eu disse, decidindo ignorar o problema em sua entrada por enquanto, "Sente-se". "Eu não posso", ele disse melancolicamente, 'Eu - ann - " "Tem aprendido a montar" Eu perguntei. "Não há nenhum porão em baixo dessa casa, há?" "Não", eu disse, me perguntando o que foi que deu nele, "Por que?" "Eu saberia se tivesse algum". Então ele encolheu os ombros, e estava prestes a se sentar na cadeira que eu ofereci a ele, quando pareceu se lembrar de algo, e olhou para mim ansioso. "Pelo amor de Deus", eu disse irritado, "Acabe logo com todo esse mistério e me diga o que você tem pra me dizer". "Isso é muito difícil", disse Arthur, "Você provavelmente não vai entender sobre o que estou falando. Eu
