A snowstorm delays four friends on their journey from Brighton to Lewes. While they wait for the storm to clear, Harry Valency tells his friends about his adventures as a soldier during the Greek revolution. Desperate to prove himself as a worthy fighter, Harry is wounded during a Turkish ambush. But having proved his bravery, he is saved by Constantine who recounts the tragic story of his sister Euphrasia while they wait for help. 'Euphrasia' (1838) is one of many classic short stories by the English writer Mary Shelley and will delight fans of her best-selling novel 'Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus' (1818).
