In the quiet rooms and corridors of the prison, a sound is heard—faint, deliberate, and not easily explained. What follows is noted calmly, professionally. Still, it leaves a mark.

*The Confession of Charles Linkworth* was first published in 1912 in *The Room in the Tower and Other Stories* by Mills & Boon, London.

E. F. Benson was a British author best known for his *Mapp and Lucia* novels and his ghost stories. He came from a clerical family deeply involved in both religion and early psychical research.
