At his company’s grand annual gala, Malcolm Thorne humiliated me in front of everyone. All because I’d accidentally spilled coffee on an important investor. "Why are you always so clumsy?" Instead of defending me, my five-year-old son, Leo, stood to the side, giggling with his father's assistant. Then, the assistant, Kristen, draped herself over his arm. She was wearing a deep red gown Malcolm had custom-made for her. "See, Odessa?" she hissed, her voice a low, scornful murmur only the three of us could hear. "The one who isn't loved? That's the real other woman." I met the raw annoyance in Malcolm’s eyes, then watched the way he doted on the woman beside him. I once thought I had a family. But Kristen's arrival, coupled with the blatant disloyalty of my husband and son, proved that fantasy was a world I had built for myself, and I was its only resident. In that moment, something in my heart just... stopped. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in six years. "Dad, I want to come home."

Having decided to bring out a Journal, the Editor racks his brains for a suitable name with which to christen his periodical. Friends are generally useless in an emergency of this kind; they suggest all kinds of impossible names; the following were some of the titles proposed in this instance: "Facts and Fancies," "The Cremorne," "The All Round," "The Monthly Courses," "The Devil's Own," and "Dugdale's Ghost"; the two first had certainly great attractions to our mind, but at last our own ideas have hit upon the modest little "Pearl," as more suitable, especially in the hope that when it comes under the snouts of the moral and hypocritical swine of the world, they may not trample it underfoot, and feel disposed to rend the publisher, but that a few will become subscribers on the quiet. To such better disposed piggy wiggys, I would say, for encouragement, that they have only to keep up appearances by regularly attending church, giving to charities, and always appearing deeply interested in moral philanthropy, to ensure a respectable and high moral character, and that if they only are clever enough never to be found out, they may, sub rosa, study and enjoy the philosophy of life till the end of their days, and earn a glorious and saintly epitaph on their tombstone, when at last the Devil pegs them out. Editor of the "Pearl."
