Quote context

[...]

- The bed and the mirror form part of the contents of the private apartments of a Mr. Francis Etherington, who died at Marsden Lacy in 1836.

- The apartments had remained unused and locked from that time till the sale.

- That is his portrait, by the way. He was a man of dominating character. Arrogant, reckless, handsome and of a violent temper.

- He married a very beautiful heiress, a Miss Perry. The couple retired to Marsden Lacy where they lived contentedly for a time.

- Then suddenly, disaster overtook them. Out hunting one day, Etherington was thrown by his horse, which then rolled on him.

- His spine was injured. He was never again able to do more than drag himself a few paces from this bed.

- How dreadful.

- Had she not been so devoted to him, she certainly would've left him, and indeed it would've been better for her had she done so.

- For one day, in an excess of jealous rage, he strangled her, and then sat down in front of the mirror, your mirror... and cut his throat.

- What a horrible story.

What, you mean the chap who makes a voice come out of a stuffed dummy? The way I do out of you? -That's about it.

Oh, yes, it's me all right. I've returned from my watery grave to haunt you.
