The first story is named "Louis",I believe,and it is about a greedy man,who deports his familly into meaner and meaner lodgins to save money,which he pasionately loves (he TRULY adornes it,as a god,almost).He has a dog,which he wants to sell,but cant.later,he buys a secure safe,which is locked by a code name-he choses the name "god"-but,at the end,he cant remember-and only does dying,after he is atacked and killed by his dog, freeing his wife and daughter.

Any chance it is Auguste Villiers de L’isle Adam and his
Contes Cruels which he wrote in several volumes? If so, there are couple of his works here that Patricia converted and posted.
