"In the flickering glow, Lord Scargrave's face appears as ravaged as it did in the dim light of his death chamber: not the manner in which such a man would wish to be remembered. Were it not for the superstitions of the local folk, who come to pay their respects in a silent, shuffling file, Isobel should never have ordered the casket closed: but the Earl of Scargrave must be seen to be truly dead by all the surrounding country before his heir may take up his title."
