Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A novel by L.P. Hartley, published in 1953.Leo Colston, an elderly man who has never married, discovers a diary he kept as a schoolboy which recalls a long-ago summer that he has subconsciously blocked from his memory.In 1900, Leo is invited to spend the summer with his school friend Marcus Maudsley and his family at Brandham Hall, the grand Norfolk house they lease from Hugh, Viscount Trimingham, a genial aristocratic war hero with a disfigured face. The socially-ambitious Mrs Maudsley has arranged a marriage between Trimingham and her daughter Marian.Left to his own devices for an afternoon, Leo wanders into the yard of Ted Burgess, a tenant farmer, who befriends Leo and persuades him to take a message to Marian. Marian sends him back with a reply, and thus the naive Leo is unwittingly entangled into a role as intermediary in the developing romance between Marian and Ted.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A faithful film adaptation was released in 1971, directed by Joseph Losey, written by Harold Pinter, and starring Julie Christie as Marian, Alan Bates as Ted, Edward Fox as Trimingham, Margaret Leighton as Mrs Maudsley, Michael Redgrave as Leo, and a whole battery of British character actors.

Black Magic: Leo is bullied at school but gains some respect, not least from Marcus, by his interest in the occult and apparent ability to cast a functioning curse. He attempts to brew up a curse at Brandham using parts of the deadly nightshade plant. It doesn't end well.
