If no servant would stay with us, we had to do all the work of the house.
You could imagine what it was like for my sister and me.
And when she died, though she was only thirty...
Julia's hair had begun to turn white.
Even his mind had.
Your sister died?
Just two years ago.
Soon after, she'd become engaged to be married.
Only a fortnight before the wedding, she died in terrible circumstances.
It's easy to be so, for every event of that dreadful time is seared into my memory.
As I said, the manor house is very old, and only one wing is now in use.
The bedrooms in this wing are on the ground floor.
First my stepfather's, then my sister's, and then mine.
There's no communication between them, but they open onto the same corridor and look out onto the same lawn.
That night,
Dr. Roylott, my stepfather, had gone to his room early, but was not yet asleep.
My sister was troubled by the strong smell of his Indian cigar.
She left her room and came into mine, where she sat chatting about her coming wedding.
Well, Helen, I'll be getting back to bed.
He must be asleep by now.
