Widow Delays Marriage as Ghostly Promise Haunts Renowned Suitor
Nellie Willard, a pretty widow, refuses remarriage to Horace Levison after Wilson Willard’s dying plea. Ten years into widowhood she fears her promise to never remarry will anger the ghost of her late husband. Levison later confronts the moral trap as a nephew of Willard reappears, and Nellie encounters a genuine apparition at night seeking to communicate.
