![]() ![]() I have decided to start a kind of diary it may enable me to record some of the thoughts and feelings that I cannot express to anyone but, beyond this, I am anxious to make some record of the strange things that I have heard and seen, during many years of loneliness, in this weird old building.įor a couple of centuries, this house has had a reputation, a bad one, and, until I bought it, for more than eighty years no one had lived here consequently, I got the old place at a ridiculously low figure. He, at least, understands me-and has sense enough to leave me alone when I am in my dark moods. I have one friend, a dog yes, I would sooner have old Pepper than the rest of Creation together. I live here alone with my old sister, who is also my housekeeper. ![]() That is because I will have nothing to do with them. The peasantry, who inhabit the wilderness beyond, say that I am mad. I live here in this ancient house, surrounded by huge, unkempt gardens. ![]()
