The Haunted Chamber: A Novel

By Duchess

The novel revolves around a young man named Sir Adrian Dynecourt who has recently returned from travelling abroad and is settling down to become a country gentleman. He has invited two guests, Mrs. Talbot and Miss Delmaine, to stay with him in his grand old castle. Excerpt: "Surely, Sir Adrian, you have a ghost in this beautiful old place, or a secret staircase, or at least a bogy of some sort? Do not spoil the romantic look of it by telling me you have no tale of terror to impart, no history of a ghostly visitant who walks these halls at the dead of night.""We have no ghost here, I am sorry to say," answers Sir Adrian, laughing. "For the first time I feel distressed and ashamed that it should be so. We can only boast a haunted chamber; but there are certain legends about it, I am proud to say, the bare narration of which would make even the stoutest quail."
