“This was a fun short story! A very haunting one at that. The “world building” of its supernatural was fascinating and I highly suggest reading it! It won’t take too much time out of your day, but it is worth it!”“״לינג לא היה אחד מהבתים הדברניים הישנים שגילו את הסודות שהופקדו בידיהם. האגדה שהתגבשה סביבו הוכיחה בעצמה שהוא תמיד היה משתף הפעולה האילם, שומר ללא משוא פנים על הסודות שבהם נתקל. ומרי בוחן, יושבת פנים אל פנים עם שתיקתו הרת הגורל, הרגישה את חוסר התועלת בניסיון לשבור אותה בעזרת אמצעים אנושיים״

לאחר מכן של אדית וורטון הוא נובלה העוסקת בזוג אמריקאי המגיע לאנגליה בחיפוש אחרי בית, אך הם לא מחפשים בית רגיל - הם מחפשים בית רדוף. בקשתם נענית בהצעה יוצא דופן: ישנו בית רדוף במחוז מרוחק שמגיע עם אגדה מעניינת; אומרים שלא ידעת שפגשת ברוח רפאים המתגוררת בו עד זמן רב לאחר שפגשת אותה. הסיפור עוקב אחרי המאורעות שהובילו להיעלמותה של נד, בעלה של מרי והדברים שהיא גלתה עליו לאחר מכן.
הנובלה היא כתב יד קלאסי של אדית וורטון. מסקרן, מינימלי ועמוק. בכל פעם מחדש אני מתרשמת מהדרך בה אדית וורטון יוצרת עולמות בלתי נשכחים מהצמדת מילים בודדות והדרך בה היא מציגה דילמות מוסריות בצורה אלגנטית ומצמררת.
יש לאדית וורטון את הדרך שלה לתאר רוחות רפאים וספציפית בסיפור הזה היא לוקחת את כל הסטיגמות ומנפצת אותן.
הלוואי שהסיפור היה ארוך יותר. אבל בו זמנית, הוא באורך מושלם…”
