The Kit-Bag, by Algernon Blackwood 5c335x

A seasonally-adjacent tale to see out 2021. The tale of The Kit-Bag concerns the young private secretary of a noted barrister who has just won the acquittal (by reason of insanity) of an especially vicious murderer. Worn out by the case, and haunted by the evil-looking face of the murderer, he plans to recover by spending his Christmas holiday in the Alps. Assuming he manages to finish packing the kit-bag which he has borrowed from his employer for his trip.
