Morag the Seal

Morag the Seal by J.W. Brodie-Innes is about a lawyer studying a property law case with the house of Sir John Bradley. When he rides up to the house, his new friend Donald tells him the tale of Morag the Seal, a deadly woman who steals men's souls. Excerpt: "A FIRST-CLASS railway carriage on the North-western line seems hardly an appropriate place for the study of legal problems as to the rights of property, still less for the starting-point of a weird romance, interwoven with some of the most uncanny and gruesome experiences that have probably chanced to any ordinary Englishman in our modern and usually prosaic age and country."
