Mr Saunders has dinner and retires to bed. Later he is awoken by a light shining from a chair in the room. He sees an old man sitting in the chair looking at him, who says, ‘I never knew, but you do’ and disappears. The next morning, he notices a picture on the wall that is exactly like the man he saw.
