This etext was prepared by Tom Weiss (tom@iname.com) from the version of "Seven Men" published in 1919 by William Heinemann (London). I have omitted two of the stories ("James Pethel" and "A.V. Laider") since they are available separately from Project Gutenberg.
I have removed spaces that preceded semicolons, exclamation points, question marks, and closing quotation marks. I have removed spaces that followed opening quotation marks. I have converted paragraph formatting and ellipses to PG standard.
In this plain ASCII version, I have converted emphasis and syllable stress italics to capitals, removed foreign italics, and removed accents.
In "Enoch Soames:" I added a missing closing quotation mark in the following phrase: `Ten past two,' he said.
