When the other correspondent becomes madly smitten with the imaginary Miss Daw, the first correspondent is forced to confess his ruse. The story ends thus: "For oh, dear Jack, there isn't any piazza, there isn't any hammock - there isn't any Marjorie Daw!" Anthologies containing Majorie Daw{{Expand list|date=July 2010}}
