An English gentleman is traveling to India from London, and meets a man named Colvin who wishes to share his cabin on the ship, even though each has his own cabin. The reason he does not wish to room alone is made clear in the story he tells his new acquaintance. He is a man who is fearful of being alone at night. This short story is a Victorian ghost story - brief, horrific, and ending abruptly with questions not answered. Well written, it ends just as it is getting really interesting.

A British gentleman is traveling from London to Brindisi, in India. On the train, he meets a man named Colvin, who asks to share his cabin on the ship they're both taking. In India, Colvin used to be friends with an Englishman named Broughton. They both moved back to England, where Broughton settled down, married, and moved into Thurnley Abbey, an ancient manor that was rumoured to be haunted. These rumours were fed by the previous owner, who hated people. Broughton doesn't fully believe in the ghost, and even if it exists, he seems unworried. Skip forward six months. Colvin gets a letter from Broughton asking him to come to his house - he needs help. Colvin does, and passes a pleasant evening at a dinner party Broughton hosts. Then it's time for bed. Then, of course, Colvin sees a ghost. It's a skeleton wrapped in in rags, hovering at the foot of his bed... Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
