Marginalia
Vulture's tale of the magic mountain, where a person "could become old in an instant, or crumble to dust, or get back their youth and good looks", evokes the carousel at the carnival of Mr. Dark, in Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes - which would change the physical age of the rider depending on whether it operates forward or backward. One of the characters, Miss Foley, gets her wish to become young again; she is however transformed not into a young woman, but a little girl, with all her memories intact and no one to take care of her. An evil character working at the carnival, Mr. Cooger, uses it to transform himself into a boy of 12 (for nefarious purposes), and in the finale crumbles to dust when he tries to regain his adult age, but the carousel malfunctions and he ages 100 years before he could jump off.
