Keeping His Promise by Algernon Blackwood
A sudden queer sensation of fear passed over him—a faintness and a shiver down the back. It went, however, almost as soon as it came, and he was just debating whether he would call aloud.to his invisible visitor, or slam the door and return to his books, when the cause of the disturbance turned the corner very slowly and came into view...
This tale concerns a young man by the name of Jack Marriott who is a fourth year student at Edinburgh University. One night he is cramming for his finals when his friend, Ambrose Field, from a long time ago knocks on the door in a terrible state. His friend is close to starvation, and so Marriot feeds him and sets him to sleep. As his friend sleeps,
Marriott discovers that nothing is quite as it seems with the situation. A promise that was made a long time ago seems to have come back to haunt him – literally.
Dramatized by Patricia Mays, "Keeping His Promise" was first published in 1906 in Blackwood's short story collection, 'The Empty House: And Other Ghost Stories'. With Eric Deacon [Jack Marriott], Christopher Neame [Ambrose Field], David Griffin [Henry Green], Peter Tuddenham [Lord Field], and Narissa Knights [Lady Field]. Other parts were played by Nigel Graham Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was born into a well-to-do Kentish family. His parents, converts to a Calvinistic sect, led an austere life, ill-suited to their dreamy and sensitive son. During adolescence, he became fascinated by hypnotism and the supernatural and, on leaving university, studied Hindu philosophy and occultism. Later, he was to draw on these beliefs and experiences in his writing.
