The Window

D. K. Broster

First published December 1929
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Romilly breaks into a deserted manor and, being an artist, begins to paint how he thinks one of the rooms would have looked when the house was furnished and full of people. But his presence brings the ghosts of the former household into the room, all gathered by the window -- which he feels he <i>must</i> open.
