Paul Patoff

"Paul Patoff begins: My dear lady-my dear friend-you have asked me to tell you a story, and I am going to try, because there is not anything I would not try if you asked it of me. I do not yet know what it will be about, but it is impossible that I should disappoint you; and if the proverb says, Needs must when the devil drives, I can mend the proverb into a show of grace, and say, The most barren earth must needs bear flowers when an angel sows the seed."--fantasticfiction.com.
