"A Top-Floor Idyl"
George van Schaick
Major Hermann, when he lay trussed up in the ferryman's house, may have seen him, just as he may have seen me.
"The Woman of Mystery"
Maurice Leblanc
I lie here in corners trussed and piled so high, And in chests I am locked so fast, Also sacked in bags, thou mayest see with thine eye, I cannot stir; in packs, lo, where I lie!
