In which a group of cultivated friends, gathered in the oak-panelled warmth of an old library, exchange tales of ghostly visitations until their ostensibly sceptical host unexpectedly recounts his own haunting experience of spectral eyes that return with unnerving persistence. This narrative unfolds with a delicate balance of intellectual curiosity and quiet dread, capturing the slow, oppressive haunting of a restless conscience amidst the charm of cultivated society.
