Charlotte hid a little chuckle as Mr. Temple told his story to those who remained at the club. Truth be told, she could understand the American's skepticism as this just sounded like a common ghost story to her. Poltergeists and malevolent spirits were a common feature of the ghost stories and legends told in her youth, and to her, this "Black Vaughan" sounded familiar if more extreme.

"Like the ghost of Anna Sydow becoming a portent of death for the royal Hohenzollerns after her terrible death in Spandau, your story is rather simple Mr. Temple," Charlotte interjected after finishing her port. "Do you have any proof of this or other occurrences, or is this an oral tale from the Night's Watch in England? Producing some dusty old tome of lore might sway some of the more skeptical among us."
