Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Andrews Ghost Stories Many years ago, about the time of the Tay Bridge gale, I was staying at Edinburgh with a friend of mine, an actor manager. I had just come down from the paint-room of the theatre, and was emerging from the stage-door, when I encountered Miss Elsie H, a then well-known actress. "You are just the very person I wanted to meet," she said. "Allow me to introduce you to my friend, Mr Spencer Ashton. He´s not an actor, he´s an artist, and he´s got such a queer, queer story about ghosts and things near your beloved St Andrews." I bowed to Mr Ashton, who was a quiet-looking man, pale and thin, rather like a benevolent animated hairpin. He reminded me somehow of Fred Vokes. We shook hands warmly. "Yes," he said, "my story sounds like fiction, but it is a fact, as I can prove. It is rather long, but it may possibly interest you. Where could we foregather?" "Come and dine with me at the Edinburgh Hotel to-night at eight. I´ll get a private room," I said. "Right oh!" said he, and we parted. That evening at eight o´clock we met at the old Edinburgh Hotel (now no longer in existence), and after dinner he told me his very remarkable tale. "Some years ago," he said, I was staying in a small coast town in Fife, not very far from St Andrews. I was painting some quaint houses and things of the sort that tickled my fancy at the time, and I was very much amused and excited by some of the bogie tales told mo by the fisher folk. One story particularly interested me." "And what was that?" I asked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
