After the ghost of his master, Mr. Philip Furze's father appears to the young servant Francis Fey, asking him to fulfill "several Legacies" that had been left unpaid after the death of the ghost, Francis Fey "according to the direction of the Spirit took care to see the small Legacies satisfied." However, the ghost's last request was to carry twenty shillings to "a Gentlewoman, Sister to the deceased,"(Anonymous 412) and she "utterly refused to receive it," as she believed it was sent her "from the Devil." Staying the night at her house, Francis Fey sees the specter again, "whereupon the young man challenged his promise, not to trouble him any more, saying he had performed all according to his appointment," but that the gentlewoman would not take the money. The specter then directed "the young man ride to Totness, and buy for her a Ring of that value," which he believed she would accept. This proved true, and she received the ring. The specter after this, "hath seemed to be at rest, having never given the young man any further trouble."(179)
