Came as an addition novella in The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps, I think someone could make a great film out of this if they took the Jonathan Glazer approach and made a very looser adaptation. The world of a capella singing, modern orchestral compositions all contained in a gothic house in the Belgian woods has a lot of potential but I don’t think this particular story goes anywhere too interesting.
