Quote context

- 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.

- 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.

- Unfortunately, the effects of such constraint on a man of his enormous energy were more than his mind could endure.

- He became morose, embittered, suspicious, above all, of his wife. Quite without reason, he began accusing the poor lady of betraying him. With his friends, with strangers, with his servants.

- 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.

Really, darling, you're going a little bit too fast for me. Let's get the wedding over, and then we can make divorce arrangements afterwards.

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.
