Title
Illustration of "Toilers of the Sea", by Victor Hugo
Caption
The house at the top of Pleinmont: 'At the extremity of the cape there rises a high turfy hill, which looks over the sea. The height is a lonely place. All the more lonely from there being one solitary house there. This house adds a sense of terror to that of solitude. It is popularity believed to be haunted.'
First part, Book V, chapter IV.
