My travelling instructions directed me to Carlisle and then to
change trains for Limmeridge. However, because of a long delay
I missed my connection and did not get to Limmeridge till past ten.
A servant in rather a bad temper was waiting for me at the
station with a carriage and when I arrived at Limmeridge House
everyone had gone to bed. I was shown to my room and when
I at last put out the candle, I thought to myself, ‘What shall I see
in my dreams tonight? The woman in white? Or the unknown
inhabitants of this Cumberland house?
