Silent Knight -- A Christmas Ghost Story
The weather has been remarkably mild though rainy this winter as the year 1911 draws to a close. Leaden skies and thick choking fogs in the city have exerted their own level of depression on the soul, however, and as the holiday season approaches everyone who can is looking for ways to escape the ancient capital and spend the festivities in the countryside where the air is clean and the company gregarious.
At the last moment, an unexpected invitation to spend Christmas with an old friend at Leatherby Hall in Wiltshire arrives in the post. How jolly! An old fashioned Christmas in the country. Of course you will accept.
