About the story.

A stormy excursion brings attention to a secluded mansion and the long sorrow associated with its owner. The company knows a story about the past, but knowing a story is not quite the same as understanding the person inside it.

Father Brown’s interest unsettles comfortable opinions about grief, honor, and forgiveness. Chesterton places a private history under pressure from visitors who believe they already know what it means.
