EXCERPT:

There was a curious carved old chest in one of these passages, and with girlish curiosity I tried to open it; but the lid was too heavy, till I persuaded one of my companions to help me, and when it was opened, what do you think we saw?–BONES!–but whether human, whether the remains of the lost bride, we did not stay to see, but ran off in partly feigned, and partly real terror.
