The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang

"In
the
month
of
October,
1693,
Sir
Tristram
and
Lady
Beresford
went
on
a
visit
to
her
sister,
Lady
Macgill,
at
Gill
Hall,
now
the
seat
of
Lord
Clanwilliam,
whose
grandmother
was
eventually
the
heiress
of
Sir
J.
Macgill's
property.
One
morning
Sir
Tristram
rose
early,
leaving
Lady
Beresford
asleep,
and
went
out
for
a
walk
before
breakfast.
When
his
wife
joined
the
table
very
late,
her
appearance
and
the
embarrassment
of
her
manner
attracted
general
attention,
especially
that
of
her
husband.
He
made
anxious
inquiries
as
to
her
health,
and
asked
her
apart
what
had
occurred
to
her
wrist,
which
was
tied
up
with
black
ribbon
tightly
bound
round
it.
She
earnestly
entreated
him
not
to
inquire
more
then,
or
thereafter,
as
to
the
cause
of
her
wearing
or
continuing
afterwards
to
wear
that
ribbon;
'for,'
she
added,
'you
will
never
see
me
without
it'.
He
replied,
'Since
you
urge
it
so
vehemently,
I
promise
you
not
to
inquire
more
about
it'.
