Quotes
They ask no questions, make no remarks, don't listen, don't see, don't speak.
I heard the sound of a pony and trap coming along the road from Crythin Gifford. I turned and looked.
The sound of the pony and trap had faded, muffled now by the mist, but I was still staring, open-mouthed, at the child.
The corridor ended in a door, and I heaved this open, too, and went in.
I was not alone. I was with the Woman in Black.
I was frozen with terror.
I have seen her. She is a ghost: a woman in black.
The woman in black, one dark and misty night, came to Eel Marsh House.
I understood that the woman was a prisoner of her own despair, held fast by the memory of the child.
I heard the sound of the pony and trap again, and then I saw it, coming out of the mist.
Like a shadow, thinner than smoke, she slipped silently from the room.
The woman in black had been in the nursery.
