An American diplomat buys an old English country house together with its resident ghost, and his family flatly refuses to be frightened. Giuseppe Vannicola's translation pairs Wilde's comic ghost story with Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, in which a palm reader's prophecy sends a young lord looking for someone to murder.

Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
