Latimer, a sensitive and intellectual man, finds he has clairvoyant powers: he has a vision of a woman, pale, fatal-eyed, who he later meets: she is Bertha Grant, his brother's fiancee. Entranced and bewildered, Latimer is unwilling to take heed of the warning visions which beset him.

A short story published as a Penguin 60s Classic.
I didn't find this “A chilling story of clairvoyance and premonition” as promised on the back. I found it a quirkily written, but ultimately rather boring story. It dates from and was set around 1859, and it is just not my cup of tea.
Must say I am finding the Penguin 60s Classics more miss than hit, when compared to the (orange) Penguin 60s, which were more hit than miss. Just reinforces that I am not drawn to the classics.
