  • "Michael is wealthy, decent, boring and locked into the routine of working as Secretary to his gentleman's club in Mayfair, or else stalking deer on his estate in Perthshire. Elizabeth has married him - not exactly for his money, but not exactly for love, either. Their marriage is passionless and monotonous. Dreary weeks are spent in the dank and gloomy house in a Scottish glen that Michael inherited from his parents. Then, on a visit to friends in Ireland, something appears to trigger a change in Michael's behaviour. On the way back, Elizabeth tells herself: 'There was something different about Michael'. And there is: life with Michael suddenly becomes so much more fun...and Elizabeth sees glimpses of a man she could finally fall in love with. But who - or what is changing Michael? Who is the girl on the landing? And what does she want..."
  • "HORROR & GHOST STORIES. Michael is dressing for dinner at a friend's country house in Ireland. As he descends the staircase, he spots a small painting of a landing with an old linen press and the white marble statue of an angel. In the background is a woman clad in a dark green dress. During dinner, Michael comments on the painting to his hosts but they say there is no woman in the picture. When Michael goes up to bed later, he sees that they are correct. This is only the first in a series of incidents that lead Michael to question his grip on reality. His wife Elilzabeth is unsettled by the changes she sees in a man she originally married because he was dependable and steady, not because she loved him. She realises she has never really known Michael and as he changes, she sees glimpses of someone she could fall in love with."@en
