“This is hardly the house you would expect to see a ghost in, is it?” he remarked to me after luncheon. “And yet I can assure you I had a very remarkable psychic experience here, in this very room. I’ve often wanted to tell you about it. It happened one New Year’s Eve three and a half years ago. My aunt had a nephew, on her husband’s side, called Jack Wilmot, and he and I used to meet here regularly at the commencement of every New Year. On this occasion, however, my aunt informed me that Wilmot was unable to be present, as he was detained in Mexico, where he had a very good post as a mining engineer.
