Историю эту рассказывает друг покойного священника, о которой тот написал. Фредерик остался сиротой и рос у своего деда — приходского священника. Отправившись учиться в университет, он стал замкнутым и почти не виделся с дедом. Под чужим именем он сближается с девушкой, но не романтические чувства двигают им, а оккультные взгляды. Он ставит странные эксперименты на ее сознании, отчего она погибает. Гибнет и сам Фредерик — на странной дуэли.

The story is told by a friend of the deceased priest, about whom he wrote. Frederick was left an orphan and grew up with his grandfather, a parish priest. Having gone to study at the university, he became withdrawn and almost never saw his grandfather. Under a false name, he approaches a girl, but it is not romantic feelings that drive him, but occult views. He conducts strange experiments on her mind, which causes her to die. Frederick himself dies - in a strange duel.
