The Mahatma and the Hare & Barbara Who Came Back

The Mahatma and the Hare is the story of the self-called mahatma — a spiritual man who is able, when asleep, to view "The Great White Road" on which the souls of those recently departed enter heaven — encounters the hare of the title after that animal's death.
Barbara Who Came Back is the story of Septimus Walrond, who was returning from a professional visit to a distant cottage of his remote and straggling parish upon the coast of East Anglia. His errand had been sad, to baptise the dying infant of a fisherman, which just as the rate was finished wailed once feebly and expired in his arms.
