pickThis was different from other stories I've been reading in my collection of Victorian ghost tales. It spent more time than usual establishing the main character as a flawed young man. He is vain and silly, comes from a family in genteel poverty, and gets himself fired from a job he needs. Usually, the main character is simply a tool for investigating the mystery. BTW, in this case, the mystery is an open door that won't...stay....closed....“
“Some people do not believe in ghosts.“

"Perhaps, before going further, I ought to premise there was a time when I did not believe in ghosts either. If you had asked me one summer's morning years ago when you met me on London Bridge if I held such appearances to be probable or possible, you would have received an emphatic 'No' for answer.
But, at this rate, the story of the Open Door will never be told; so we will, with your permission, plunge into it immediately."
