The Bowl Of Brass

"The Brass Bowl" by Louis Joseph Vance Daniel Maitland is a jaded man of high society. However, when he keeps running into a woman who dresses all in gray, he starts to feel intrigued and excited again. When she thinks he's a famous jewelry thief, he doesn't correct her and, instead, uses this as an excuse to get to know her. Little did he know the sorts of adventures that would await him as a result.

And beside it, clearly defined in the heavy layer of dust, was the silhouette of a hand; a woman's hand, small, delicate, unmistakably feminine of contour. "Well!" declared Maitland frankly, "I am damned!" Further and closer inspection developed the fact that the imprint had been only recently made. Within the hour, --unless Maitland were indeed mad or dreaming, --a woman had stood by that desk and rested a hand, palm down, upon it; not yet had the dust had time to settle and blur the sharp outlines.
