The Jessop Night Bell and a Deaf Dumb Landlord
Dorothy and Grayson travel to Pequawket to stay with the Jessops. They find a grim, crowded boarding setup with two groups, a refined family and a separate raw, squalid pool of elderly inmates, revealing stark social contrasts and a startling night arrival. The eerie house and its deaf dumb proprietor heighten the unsettling mood.
