The Panelled Bedroom and a Mesmerist Mystery
In a Staffordshire country house a narrator visits the Perowne family and encounters a panelled bedchamber where furniture and exits appear at a touch. Miss Louisa Enderby, a mesmerist, seeks Constance and clashes with the narrator over influence, leading to danger, secrets of a family inheritance, and a dramatic escape from a hidden iron safe. Enderby dies a week later, leaving Constance his confidante and the narrator with a narrow life-saving escape.
