In the governor's offices, just beore the Revolutionary War, a British Governor is contemplating an old darkened portrait; he is told that it is the likeness of a former governor who wronged the people of Massachusetts and was tortured all the rest of his life by their collective curse. When the picture is cleaned it proves to be fear-inspiring, but the Governor doesn't heed the warning and allows troops to occupy the town. The curse falls on him too.
First published in the Democratic Review, July 1838.
