Falling
asleep
as
readily
as
usual
,
her
repose
was
disturbed
by
a
succession
of
frightful
dreams
;
the
central
figure
in
every
one
of
them
being
the
figure
of
her
dead
brother
,
the
first
Lord
Montbarry
.
She
saw
him
starving
in
a
loathsome
prison
;
she
saw
him
pursued
by
assassins
,
and
dying
under
their
knives
;
she
saw
him
drowning
in
immeasurable
depths
of
dark
water
;
she
saw
him
in
a
bed
on
fire
,
burning
to
death
in
the
flames
;
she
saw
him
tempted
by
a
shadowy
creature
to
drink
,
and
dying
of
the
poisonous
draught
.
The
reiterated
horror
of
these
dreams
had
such
an
effect
on
her
that
she
rose
with
the
dawn
of
day
,
afraid
to
trust
herself
again
in
bed
.
In
the
old
times
,
she
had
been
noted
in
the
family
as
the
one
member
of
it
who
lived
on
affectionate
terms
with
Montbarry
.
His
other
sister
and
his
brothers
were
constantly
quarrelling
with
him
.
Even
his
mother
owned
that
her
eldest
son
was
of
all
her
children
the
child
whom
she
least
liked
.
Sensible
and
resolute
woman
as
she
was
,
Mrs
.
Norbury
shuddered
with
terror
as
she
sat
at
the
window
of
her
room
,
watching
the
sunrise
,
and
thinking
of
her
dreams
.
She
made
the
first
excuse
that
occurred
to
her
,
when
her
maid
came
in
at
the
usual
hour
,
and
noticed
how
ill
she
looked
.
The
woman
was
of
so
superstitious
a
temperament
that
it
would
have
been
in
the
last
degree
indiscreet
to
trust
her
with
the
truth
.
Mrs
.
Norbury
merely
remarked
that
she
had
not
found
the
bed
quite
to
her
liking
,
on
account
of
the
large
size
of
it
.
She
was
accustomed
at
home
,
as
her
maid
knew
,
to
sleep
in
a
small
bed
.
Informed
of
this
objection
later
in
the
day
,
the
manager
regretted
that
he
could
only
offer
to
the
lady
the
choice
of
one
other
bedchamber
,
numbered
Thirty
-
eight
,
and
situated
immediately
over
the
bedchamber
which
she
desired
to
leave
.
Mrs
.
Norbury
accepted
the
proposed
change
of
quarters
.
She
was
now
about
to
pass
her
second
night
in
the
room
occupied
in
the
old
days
of
the
palace
by
Baron
Rivar
.
Once
more
,
she
fell
asleep
as
usual
.
And
,
once
more
,
the
frightful
dreams
of
the
first
night
terrified
her
,
following
each
other
in
the
same
succession
.
This
time
her
nerves
,
already
shaken
,
were
not
equal
to
the
renewed
torture
of
terror
inflicted
on
them
.
She
threw
on
her
dressing
-
gown
,
and
rushed
out
of
her
room
in
the
middle
of
the
night
.
The
porter
,
alarmed
by
the
banging
of
the
door
,
met
her
hurrying
headlong
down
the
stairs
,
in
search
of
the
first
human
being
she
could
find
to
keep
her
company
.
Considerably
surprised
at
this
last
new
manifestation
of
the
famous
’
English
eccentricity
,
’
the
man
looked
at
the
hotel
register
,
and
led
the
lady
upstairs
again
to
the
room
occupied
by
her
maid
.
The
maid
was
not
asleep
,
and
,
more
wonderful
still
,
was
not
even
undressed
.
She
received
her
mistress
quietly
.
When
they
were
alone
,
and
when
Mrs
.
Norbury
had
,
as
a
matter
of
necessity
,
taken
her
attendant
into
her
confidence
,
the
woman
made
a
very
strange
reply
.
’
I
have
been
asking
about
the
hotel
,
at
the
servants
’
supper
to
-
night
,
’
she
said
.
’
The
valet
of
one
of
the
gentlemen
staying
here
has
heard
that
the
late
Lord
Montbarry
was
the
last
person
who
lived
in
the
palace
,
before
it
was
made
into
an
hotel
.
The
room
he
died
in
,
ma
’
am
,
was
the
room
you
slept
in
last
night
.
Your
room
tonight
is
the
room
just
above
it
.
I
said
nothing
for
fear
of
frightening
you
.
For
my
own
part
,
I
have
passed
the
night
as
you
see
,
keeping
my
light
on
,
and
reading
my
Bible
.
In
my
opinion
,
no
member
of
your
family
can
hope
to
be
happy
or
comfortable
in
this
house
.
’
’
What
do
you
mean
?
’
’
Please
to
let
me
explain
myself
,
ma
’
am
.
When
Mr
.
Henry
Westwick
was
here
(
I
have
this
from
the
valet
,
too
)
he
occupied
the
room
his
brother
died
in
(
without
knowing
it
)
,
like
you
.
For
two
nights
he
never
closed
his
eyes
.
Without
any
reason
for
it
(
the
valet
heard
him
tell
the
gentlemen
in
the
coffee
-
room
)
he
could
not
sleep
;
he
felt
so
low
and
so
wretched
in
himself
.
And
what
is
more
,
when
daytime
came
,
he
couldn
’
t
even
eat
while
he
was
under
this
roof
.
You
may
laugh
at
me
,
ma
’
am
—
but
even
a
servant
may
draw
her
own
conclusions
.
It
’
s
my
conclusion
that
something
happened
to
my
lord
,
which
we
none
of
us
know
about
,
when
he
died
in
this
house
.
His
ghost
walks
in
torment
until
he
can
tell
it
—
and
the
living
persons
related
to
him
are
the
persons
who
feel
he
is
near
them
.
Those
persons
may
yet
see
him
in
the
time
to
come
.
Don
’
t
,
pray
don
’
t
stay
any
longer
in
this
dreadful
place
!
I
wouldn
’
t
stay
another
night
here
myself
—
no
,
not
for
anything
that
could
be
offered
me
!
’
Mrs
.
Norbury
at
once
set
her
servant
’
s
mind
at
ease
on
this
last
point
.
