Letter, Ghosts, and a Moonlit Bertram Tale
A narrator recalls a village night ride to Bertram's Sorrow with Dick, Dade, Ellen Belmont, and others to visit a haunted estate. Fear, stories, and a staged ghost scene lead to a reveal: Pompey the Newfoundland dog opened the door and nabbed a sausage, resolving the fright. The tale ends with romance between Dade and Dick and a segue to a family name.
