AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An old house-keeper's account of his younger brother's strange behaviour in the narrator's absence from home is explained when the youth confesses to a murder and asks him to bear the blame and dispose of the body. Relief is at hand when he is awakened from a dream to discover his brother, an explanation of private theatricals, and a plan for a double wedding. (PB)
