Quote context

[...]

- Would you go on to the library, and walk back this way?

- Very well, dear.

- Morning, Mr. Rutherford.

- Good morning, Miss Walsh... I beg your pardon, Mrs Cortland.

- Do you remember that Chippendale mirror I bought here 3 months ago?

- Indeed I do. I hope your husband was satisfied with it.

- Yes, very.

- Tell me That bed, the four-poster...

- How odd you should mention it. It so happens, I bought it at the same sale that I got your mirror. There's a curious history attaching to them both.

- Curious?

- Well, tragic, perhaps I should say.

- I trust, by the way, you're not superstitious.

- No. No, I don't think so.

- Won't you sit down?

- Some people retain a positively medieval attitude of mind with regard to these matters.

- Please, Mr. Rutherford, will you tell me the story, I'm very interested.

- By all means.

- 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.
