This was a night so cold, so silent, so still, that the (great grey-green, greasy limp)Avon River was as flat as a mirror for many hours. Burwalls Lodge, already as Gothic as any building can get, was that night something which, had film director Dario Argento seen it looking like this, may have resulted in Mater Lachrymarum putting in an early appearance (in Bristol, England) 25 years earlier than she did, and circumventing a considerable amount of tenebrous confusion.
