...carefully protected life with his spinster aunt. Both of them have plenty of money, spend their lives playing first-rate croquet and bridge, keeping aloof from any sort of unpleasantness. At a French health resort George meets a Dr. Finchatton, an intense fellow who has come there for treatment of his badly jangled nerves. Finchatton spins George a ghostly yarn: he had had a country practice in England in a place called Cainsmarsh, just the kind of quiet district he wanted. Before he had been there very long, the place began to get on his nerves. He noticed that everyone...
