Romance/supernatural told in England with Indian connections. An army officer a short time before his wedding tells his friend of an entanglement in India years before with a handsome woman who had taken an overdose when he told her their affair was over. She had warned him she would return if he ever found another to love - and on two occasions he had seen her ghost. At the races the next day he wins until the last, when in front of his fiancée he sees the ghost and is killed. The narrator and the fiancée had both seen the ghost too - unknowingly. Slight; some supernatural fascination. (PB)
