Now as I crouched thus, plagued by the obscene demons of my imagination, I was aroused by a distant sound and opening my eyes saw how the sun touched Diana's sleeping form like the blessing of God. And yet ... what of that night at Raydon Manor? She had volunteered me no word of explanation not one and why?
In this way he tortured me for weeks until at last he wrote from Raydon Manor, saying I should have the letters if I would call for them in person, but it must be at ten o'clock at night and Diana must go with me. So we went there were other men there they had been drinking. When we entered the room, Captain Danby locked the door I nearly swooned with horror " "Ah, my God!" exclaimed Anthony.
"Aye, there are so, sir coveys of 'em, very fine feathers an' pretty as pictoors t' look at but " "Ah!" said I, as he paused, "that kind?" "Aye, sir, if ye know what I mean." "I do! Raydon Manor seems haunted in many ways." "Aye, sir, an' this is very sure if Innocence ever goes in, it never comes out!"
And the doctor went. At three o'clock on July 16th, there met in the Doane library Mr. Carrington, Mr. Raydon the multi-millionaire and great friend of Drusilla's Mr. Thornton, Dr. Eaton, and half a dozen of the residents of Brookvale. "Gentlemen," Drusilla began when the men were seated, "I suppose you wonder why you are all here.
Vere-Manville showed me a haunted house called, I think, Raydon Manor, do you know anything of it?" Now at this innocent question, to my surprise George's good humour vanished, his comely features were suddenly overcast, and he exchanged meaning glances with his wife.

Raydon kind of has leanin's towards a people's bank, lending money to poor people who ain't got nothin' but their honesty and reputation but he's goin' to figger that out by himself and in the meantime he's waitin' to see what I find out, as he's got more money than he kin take with him.
But in the extremity of my self-abasement, I knelt to kiss her hands, the hem of her dress, her slender, pretty feet. "Peregrine dear, your your mistake was very natural; you saw me at Raydon Manor " "I should have disbelieved my eyes!" "And I could not explain for Anthony and Barbara's sakes.
