~ E.F. Benson
Caledonia presents E.F. Benson’s “How Fear Departed From the Long Gallery.”
In the
competition for Britain ’s
most haunted house, Church-Peveril beats Hogwart’s Shrieking Shack by several
lengths of shrouding linen. Master Anthony, for example, still rides his mare
up the front staircase many a night, while great-great-grandmama Bridget
occasionally conducts “vague business” by a bedroom fireplace. Don’t speak to
her, for she led a “sultry” life, cutting relatives’ throats and disemboweling
herself with the axe used at Agincourt .
The
present day Peverils are more inclined toward country sports and merriment than
the nefarious deeds of their ancestors. But there’s one ghost—or rather three—whom even the
Peverils fear.
Join us 'round the fire in The Glen and set your time of day to Midnight, as Cale presents this story, first published in the author's 1912 collection, The Room in the Tower and Other Stories.
