A golden summer evening in the second decade of the twentieth century.

M. R. James is now Provost of Eton College. A select group is gathered in his lodgings to hear him read: a few masters, some Eton boys and an old friend, H. E Luxmoore.

Pleasurable anticipation amongst the company is mixed with a little apprehension at what this master of terror will give them to dream about tonight...

There was a Man Dwelt by a Churchyard;

After Dark in the Playing Fields;
