The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
120
In
Lilly's
version
the
ghost
had
a
habit
of
walking
in
Parker's
room,
and
finally
bade
him
tell
Buckingham
to
abstain
from
certain
company,
"or
else
he
will
come
to
destruction,
and
that
suddenly".
Parker,
thinking
he
had
dreamed,
did
nothing;
the
ghost
reappeared,
and
communicated
a
secret
"which
he
(Buckingham)
knows
that
none
in
the
world
ever
knew
but
myself
and
he".
The
duke,
on
hearing
the
story
from
Parker,
backed
by
the
secret,
was
amazed,
but
did
not
alter
his
conduct.
On
the
third
time
the
spectre
produced
the
knife,
but
at
this
information
the
duke
only
laughed.
Six
weeks
later
he
was
stabbed.
Douch
makes
the
whole
affair
pass
immediately
before
the
assassination.
"And
Mr.
Parker
died
soon
after,"
as
the
ghost
had
foretold
to
him.
