Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"From out the Vasty Deep" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Blanche Farrow and her maid, Pegler, as they navigate the eerie atmosphere of Wyndfell Hall, a house rumored to be haunted. With the arrival of various guests for Christmas, the unfolding of mysterious events and the tension surrounding the supernatural elements set the stage for an intriguing tale filled with suspense and psychological exploration. The opening of the novel introduces us to Miss Farrow and Pegler engaging in a conversation about strange occurrences within Wyndfell Hall. Pegler recounts her frightening experience of seeing what she believes to be a ghost, a woman in a dreadful state who haunts her bedroom. Miss Farrow, feeling both anxious and amused, attempts to comfort her maid despite her own disbelief in the supernatural. As they discuss this ghostly apparition, the dynamics of their relationship and the layers of class and loyalty emerge, hinting at deeper themes of fear, isolation, and the complexities of the human experience within the rich, atmospheric setting of a dark, old manor.
