About this book
A seaside engagement takes on an uncanny significance when Horace Medway recalls his relationship with May Newton. In Sarah Doudney's short story, the quiet village of Longbeach offers summer walks, castle ruins and hopes of marriage. Money stands between the couple and a home together, and Horace leaves for a clerk's position in London. His frustration with office life follows him back to the coast, where wounded feelings strain their attachment.
Told to two listeners as daylight fades, the account mixes a confession of thoughtlessness with the promise of a supernatural experience. A later visit brings a puzzling sight of May and unexpected news from village acquaintances. The changing seasons and the contrast between seaside calm and City work give the emotional conflict a concrete setting.
