A Changed Man and Other Tales

Book Excerpt: ...a handsome man of twenty-eight or thirty, with an attractive hint of wickedness in his manner that was sure to make him adorable with good young women. The large dark eyes that lit his pale face expressed this wickedness strongly, though such was the adaptability of their rays that one could think they might have expressed sadness or seriousness just as readily, if he had had a mind for such. An old and deaf lady who was present asked Captain Maumbry bluntly: 'What's this we hear about you? They say your regiment is haunted.'The Captain's face assumed an aspect of grave, even sad, concern. 'Yes, ' he replied, 'it is too true.'Some younger ladies smiled till they saw how serious he looked, when they looked serious likewise.'Really?' said the old lady.'Yes. We naturally don't wish to say much about it.''No, no; of course not. But--how haunted?''Well; the--THING, as I'll call it, follows us. In country quarters or town, abroad or at home, it's just the same.'..
