Summary

“If a child gives the effect another turn of the screw, what do you say to two children—?”

“I don’t know what I don’t see, what I don’t fear!”

“Miles and Flora saw more—things terrible and unguessable.”

“For there again, against the glass ... was the hideous author of our woe—the white face of damnation.”

“I want my own sort!”

Henry James
