THE THREE SISTERS
Thirty years ago on a wet autumn evening the household of Mallett's Lodge was gathered round the death-bed of Ursula Mallow, the eldest of the three sisters who inhabited it. The dingy moth-eaten curtains of the old wooden bedstead were drawn apart, the light of a smoking oil-lamp falling upon the hopeless countenance of the dying woman as she turned her dull eyes upon her sisters. The room was in silence except for an occasional sob from the youngest sister, Eunice. Outside the rain fell steadily over the steaming marshes.
Nothing is to be changed, Tabitha,
gasped Ursula to the other sister, who bore a striking likeness to her although her expression was harder and colder; this room is to be locked up and never opened.
Very well,
said Tabitha brusquely, though I don't see how it can matter to you then.
It does matter,
said her sister with startling energy. "How do you know, how do I know that I may not sometimes visit it? I have lived in this house so long I am certain that I shall see it again. I will come back.
