AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A vacationing doctor treats a Scottish girl who injures herself leaving the tourist boat at Lucerne, becoming well-acquainted with her family. He 'dreams' one night of a very handsome young man who enters her room and stabs her in the heart. Several weeks later on his return to London he recognises the dream figure and follows him to the house of the girl's family and finds she is engaged to him. Purportedly true. (PB)
