Although Fearn's own distinctive work was very popular, he wanted to increase his number of acceptances by writing under pseudonyms–Thornton Ayre and Polton Cross–with a change of...

Dick opened the door again swiftly, Vera clinging to him–and they were so astounded at what they saw that he forgot for the moment to slam the door shut again.
