Plot summary
Five couriers talking amongst themselves outside a convent on the summit of the Great St Bernard Pass are overheard by the narrator, as two of their group's members relate short ghost stories. The first story is of a young woman who disappears, apparently taken from her newly-wed husband by a mysterious man who had previously appeared in her nightmares; the second is of a man who sees an apparition of his brother, and is thereby warned of the latter's death.
