同邑徐枕亚,以著小说《玉梨魂》一书得名。惨绿少年,红闺淑女,为此书所陶醉者,不知凡几。然此书纯以烂四六堆垛而成,在说部中固下乘也。北京世家女某,颠倒是书中,以为枕亚故当为一翩翩年少,初不知其人乃骨立类山魈也。适枕亚悼亡,女乃自荐,愿奉箕帚。女父故显宦,雅不欲以高门偶彼寒素,女持之坚。枕亚北上谒女父,女父叩以经史学术。枕亚本不学,徒恃狂华猎浮名,至是大窘。然女卒适徐,南归拜徐母。徐母顽嚣特甚,枕亚前妻,备受其凌虐,以迄于死者也。女不能堪,遂北归母家。张恨水《春明外史》说部纪此事淋漓尽致,皆实录也。吾友杨[C043]恙曾为枕亚画扇题一绝句云:“柳丝冶媚人憔悴,料峭春寒冻黛痕。陌上花开归尚缓,为君肠断《玉梨魂》。”以凄惋之笔,寓诙谐之意,枕亚亦不愠。[C043]恙近刻《[C043]恙吟稿》中已删去,兹录之,以备编民国以来之本事诗者。

This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk, fantasy, and romance. On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to search for her father, who disappeared into the northern wilderness of Scree when Lena was young. Scree is inhabited by Peculiars, people whose unusual characteristics make them unacceptable to modern society. Lena wonders if her father is the source of her own extraordinary characteristics and if she, too, is Peculiar. On the train she meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to a town on the edge of Scree to work in the home and library of the inventor Mr. Beasley. The train is stopped by men being chased by the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When Saltre learns who Lena's father is, he convinces her to spy on Mr. Beasley and the strange folk who disappear into his home, Zephyr House. A daring escape in an aerocopter leads Lena into the wilds of Scree to confront her deepest fears.
