Character in Etidorhpa; or, The End of Earth. The Strange History of a Mysterious Being and the Account of a Remarkable Journey; As Communicated in Manuscript to Llewellyn Drury, Who Promised to Print the Same, but Finally Evaded the Responsibility, Which was Assigned by John Uri Lloyd, With Many Illustrations by J. Augustus Knapp (Cincinnati: J. U. Lloyd, 1895). From Etidorhpa (1895): I turned instantly towards the direction of the sound, and, to my amazement, saw a white-haired man seated on the opposite side of the room, gazing at me with the utmost composure. I am not a coward, nor a believer in ghosts or illusions, and yet that sight froze me where I stood. It had no supernatural appearance — on the contrary, was a plain, ordinary, flesh-and-blood man… Who is he? what is he? how did he enter without my notice, and why? what is his business? were all questions that flashed into my mind in quick succession, and quickly flashed out unanswered.
