You know what it is to be born alone,Baby tortoise!The first day to heave your feet little by littlefrom the shell,Not yet awake,And remain lapsed on earth,Not quite alive.A tiny, fragile, half-animate bean.To open your tiny beak-mouth, that looks as ifit would never open,Like some iron door;To lift the upper hawk-beak from the lower baseAnd reach your skinny little neckAnd take your first bite at some dim bit ofherbage,Alone, small insect,Tiny bright-eye,Slow one.

En la primera de ellas, «La mariquita», un conde y oficial alemán se encuentra hospitalizado en Inglaterra al borde de la muerte por su participación en la Primera Guerra Mundial. De carácter siniestro y misterioso, pronto empieza a recibir las visitas de una joven que, aunque repelida por su oscuridad, no puede dejar de verle. En la segunda, «El muñeco del capitán», una pintora y marionetista crea un títere de su amante tan fiel que, cuando la mujer de este lo descubre en su tienda, trata por todos los medios de conseguirlo. Por último, en «El zorro», historia en la que se basó la primera película de Mark Rydell, dos mujeres que viven aisladas en una pequeña granja abren un día la puerta para toparse con un joven soldado británico que resulta ser tan astuto como un zorro. A partir de ese momento, la relación entre ambas da un vuelco que culminará en un final inesperado.
