The red-room was the bedroom of the Reeds when Mr. Reed, Jane’s uncle, was alive nine years ago, but it was also where Mr. Reed breathed the last and lay in state. The chamber was seldom entered after his death. Only maids came on Saturdays to wipe dust from mirrors and furniture. Recalling the death of her uncle, she remembered that he had made his wife promise to take good care of her before leaving the world. She had heard people saying that dead men might return to the earth once their last wishes were violated. She wiped her tears and hushed her sobs, fearful lest any sign of grief would waken his uncle’s soul.
