A short ghost story by the British author M.R. James. It is the penultimate story which M.R. James wrote and the last of his stories to be published during his lifetime. It first appeared in print in the June 1933 issue of the Eton College magazine The Masquerade. It was not included in any of the anthologies of James' works which were published in the 1930s and was not published again until 1984 when it appeared in the sixth issue of the newsletter Ghosts & Scholars. The story describes how a vengeful ghost uses a variety of everyday objects to take revenge on a wrongdoer. Most of the first three paragraphs of the story are made up of a retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale"Squire Korbes" ("Herr Korbes" in the original German), in which someone who was "either a very wicked or very unfortunate man" is made to suffer by a group of animals and inanimate objects.
