Note: Author's comment: "Arnold Friend is a fantastic figure: he is Death, he is the 'elf-knight of the ballads, he is the Imagination, he is a Dream, he is a Lover, a Demon, and all that." First published in the magazine Epoch, Fall 1966.

Synopsis: The adventure-seeking rural teenager Connie takes to picking up boys at a restaurant. She attracts the attention of a man in a gold convertible, Arnold Friend. He arrives at her house, and proves to be older than she thought and very frightening. He tries at length to talk her into getting into his car with him.
