by Shirley Jackson. The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the ...

“The Possibility of Evil” Shirley Jackson. Miss Adela Strangeworth stepped daintily along Main Street on her way to the grocery. The sun was shining, the air was fresh and clear after the night’s heavy rain, and everything in Miss Strangeworth’s little town looked washed and bright.

- “Or suppose evenI got sick, up there in—“
- “This is a pretty little town,” Eleanor said to the girl. “What is it called?”
- “How large a town is it?”
- “Do you mean that there‟s s no one in the house?
- “Not one of the family then, I guess. You ever hear anything about this place?”
- Chapter 2
- “I‟m Theodora. Just Theodora. Thisbloody house—“
- “It was not what she agreed to. Did you meet the amiable old retainer at the gate?”
- “We can‟t go far away from the house—“
- “You thinkhe lives in Hill House?”
- “I‟m sure of it. Can you skip rocks?”
- “There are stepping stones to go across, andlittle fish swimming, tiny ones—minnows?”
- “Thousands. Do you?”
- Chapter 3
- “Yes,” Eleanor said, “but why are we here?”
- “Tomorrow—“
- “And take notes,” Theodora murmured.
- “Newspapers?” Theodora asked. “Was there a scandal?”
- “Children grew up here?” Eleanor asked incredulously
- “Killed herself?” Eleanor, shocked into speech, half rose. “She had to kill herself?”
- “My own imagination,” the doctor said firmly. “This table all right, Luke?”
- “And then of course you started a gay, mad fling that brought you inevitably to Hill House?”
- “What will you do when you go back? Do you have a job?”
- “What is your apartment like?”
- Chapter 4
- “Aren‟t you readyyet ?”
- WAY OUT.”
- “If I just took the silverware and let it soak—“
- “A most unstable country,” Luke said. “How did you ever manage to get away?”
- “And Black Michael will no doubt take over the country now in acoup d‟état? “
- “You think we are right to stay?”
- “Already?”
- “Eleanor?”
- “What?” she cried out. “What? Theodora?”
- “I forgot mine. Is it really over?”
- Theodora stared, and Eleanor said, “You mean it wasinside ?”
- “The front door was open?”
- Chapter 5
- “Are you awake? May I come in?”
- “The doctor—“
- “We‟ll ask Luke to come too,” Eleanor said. “And you, Doctor?”
- “But it‟scrazy ,” Eleanor said, hanging back to see her name on the wall. “Why—?”
- “Just because your name—“
- “My clothes are ruined,” Theodora said to the doctor. “Do you see my clothes?”
- “What?” Theodora was saying. “What, Nell? What?”
- Chapter 6
- “Is there room enough for two? Would he come if you asked him?”
- “Your white curtains—your tiny stone lions—“
- Theodora laughed. “Whatare you good at?” she demanded. “Running away?”
- Chapter 7
- “Well, I‟m here now, and we‟ll get things going right. Where is Arthur to put the car?”
- “The young ladies,” the doctor said, “had a shocking—“
- “My dear—“
- “Please, sir,” Luke was saying meekly, “who is planchette?”
- “The figure of a nun is a fairly common—“
- “My dear, many people have lived—“
- “Righto. Who are you?”
- “Nell who?”
- Chapter 8
- “And your night?” the doctor asked timidly. “Did you spend a—ah—profitable night?”
- Eleanor laughed too. “I am a kind of stray cat, aren‟t I?”
- “Who—?” she whispered. “Who?”
- “I waited for you by the brook—“
- “Croquet?”
- “But living under one roof—“
- “Shall I start on them?”
- “I really must say that this is the mostinfuriating —“
- Chapter 9
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, ...
“I am sure Mother would have agreed with me, Eleanor.” “Besides,” Eleanor‟s brother-in-law said, struck by a sudden idea, “how do we know she‟d bring it back in good condition?” There has to be a first time for everything, Eleanor told herself. She got out of the taxi, very early in the morning, trembling because by now, perhaps, her sister and her...
The girl stared at her; perhaps no one had ever before had the audacity to call Hillsdale a pretty little town; after a moment the girl looked again at the man, as though calling for confirmation, and said, “Hillsdale.” “Have you lived here long?” Eleanor asked. I‟m not going to mention Hill House, she assured Dr. Montague far away, I just want to ...
“Pretty small. You want more coffee?” This was addressed to the man, who was rattling his cup against his saucer, and Eleanor took a first, shuddering sip of her own coffee and wondered how he could possibly want more. “Do you have a lot of visitors around here?” she asked when the girl had filled the coffee cup and gone back to lounge against the ...
“No oneI know of. Maybe my wife, getting it fixed up. So they couldn‟t be there exactlyexpecting you, nowcould they?” She sat back against the car seat and closed her eyes. Hill House, she thought, you‟re as hard to get into as heaven. “I suppose you know what you‟reasking for, coming here? I suppose they told you, back in the city? Youhear anythin...
It‟s my chance, I suppose, she thought; I‟m being given a last chance. I could turn my car around right here and now in front of these gates and go away from here, and no one would blame me. Anyone has a right to run away. She put her head out through the car window and said with fury, “My name is Eleanor Vance. I am expected in Hill House. Unlock ...
No human eye can isolate the unhappy coincidence of line and place which suggests evil in the face of a house, and yet somehow maniac juxtaposition, a badly turned angle, some chance meeting of roof and sky, turned Hill House into a place of despair, more frightening because the face of Hill House seemed awake, with a watchfulness from the blank wi...
“It‟s just as bad up here. Come on up. Make her give you the room next to mine.” Theodora came up the heavy stairway after Mrs. Dudley, looking incredulously at the stained-glass window on the landing, the marble urn in a niche, the patterned carpet. Her suitcase was considerably larger than Eleanor‟s, and considerably more luxurious, and Eleanor c...
“We had a lovely chat. He said I couldn‟t come in and I said I could and then I tried to run him down with my car but he jumped. Look, do you think we have to sit around here in our rooms and wait? I‟d like to change into something comfortable— unless we dress for dinner, do you think?” “I won‟t if you won‟t.” “I won‟t ifyou won‟t. They can‟t fight...
“I promise not to go one step farther than you say. Do you think we have to check in and out with Mrs. Dudley?” “She probably watches every move we make, anyway; it‟s probably part of what she agreed to.” “Agreed to with whom, I wonder? Count Dracula?”
“I think he spends all his week ends here; I swear I saw bats in the woodwork downstairs. Follow, follow.” They ran downstairs, moving with color and life against the dark woodwork and the clouded light of the stairs, their feet clattering, and Mrs. Dudley stood below and watched them in silence. “We‟re going exploring, Mrs. Dudley,” Theodora said ...
“This is where the princess comes to meet the magic golden fish who is really a prince in disguise—“ “He couldn‟t draw much water, that golden fish of yours; it can‟t be more than three inches deep.”
“Princes in disguise, all of them.” Theodora stretched in the sun on the bank, and yawned. “Tadpoles?” she suggested. “Minnows. It‟s too late for tadpoles, silly, but I bet we can find frogs‟ eggs. I used to catch minnows in my hands and let them go.” “What a farmer‟s wife you might have made.” “This is a place for picnics, with lunch beside the br...
After a minute Eleanor said, “Oh, yes. Big ones and little ones and fat ones and thin ones-“ “Do you have an Aunt Edna?” “Aunt Muriel.” “Kind of thin? Rimless glasses?” “A garnet brooch,” Eleanor said. “Does she wear a kind of dark red dress to family parties?” “Lace cuffs-“ “Then I think we must really be related,” Theodora said. “Did you use to h...
The sun went down smoothly behind the hills, slipping almost eagerly, at last, into the pillowy masses. There were already long shadows on the lawn as Eleanor and Theodora came up the path toward the side veranda of Hill House, blessedly hiding its mad face in the growing darkness. “There‟s someone waiting there,” Eleanor said, walking more quickly...
For a long minute the three of them looked at her, Theodora and Luke curiously, the doctor gravely. Then Theodora said, “Just whatI was going to ask. Whyare we here? Whatis wrong with Hill House? What is going to happen?”
“No,” Theodora said, almost petulantly. “We are three adult, intelligent people. We have all come a long way, Doctor Montague, to meet you here in Hill House; Eleanor wants to know why, and so do I.” “Me too,” Luke said. “Why did you bring us here, Doctor? Why are you here yourself? How did you hear about Hill House, and why does it have such a rep...
“Notes. Yes, indeed. Notes. However, I realize that it is most impractical to leave you entirely without background information, largely because you are not people accustomed to meeting a situation without preparation.” He beamed at them slyly. “You are three willful, spoiled children who are prepared to nag me for your bedtime story.” Theodora gig...
“Oh, yes,” the doctor said. “A perfectly splendid scandal, with a suicide and madness and lawsuits.Then I learned that the local people had no doubts about the house. I heard a dozen different stories, of course—it is reallyunbelievably difficult to get accurate information about a haunted house; it would astonish you to know what I have gone throu...
The doctor smiled. “The house is dry, as I said. There were no swamps to bring them fevers, the country air was thought to be beneficial to them, and the house itself was regarded as luxurious. I have no doubt that two small children could play here, lonely perhaps, but not unhappy.” “I hope they went wading in the brook,” Theodora said. She stared...
“You mean, was there another way of escaping her tormentor? She certainly did not seem to think so. It was accepted locally that she had chosen suicide because her guilty conscience drove her to it. I am more inclined to believe that she was one of those tenacious, unclever young women who can hold on desperately to what they believe is their own b...
“It‟s a lovely old chess set,” Luke said. “I wonder how the younger sister happened to overlook it.” “I can tell you one thing,” the doctor said, “if itwas the younger sister sneaking around this house at night, she had nerves of iron. It watches,” he added suddenly. “The house. It watches every move you make.” And then, “My own imagination, of cou...
“Not exactly.” Eleanor laughed. “But all those wasted years! Did you go on a cruise, look for exciting young men, buy new clothes... “Unfortunately,” Eleanor said dryly, “there was not at all that much money. My sister put her share into the bank for her little girl‟s education. I did buy some clothes, to come to Hill House.” People like answering ...
“No, no job right now. I don‟t know what I‟m going to do.” “I know whatI’ll do.” Theodora stretched luxuriously. “I‟ll turn on every light in our apartment and just bask.”
Theodora shrugged. “Nice,” she said. “We found an old place and fixed it up ourselves. One big room, and a couple of small bedrooms, nice kitchen—we painted it red and white and made over a lot of old furniture we dug up in junk shops—one really nice table, with a marble top. We both love doing over old things.” “Are you married?” Eleanor asked. Th...
Eleanor awakened to find the blue room gray and colorless in the morning rain. She found that she had thrown the quilt off during the night and had finished sleeping in her usual manner, with her head on the pillow: It was a surprise to find that she had slept until after eight, and she thought that it was ironic that the first good night‟s sleep s...
Eleanor closed the bedroom door softly behind her, not wanting to awaken Theodora, although the noise of a door closing would hardly disturb anyone, she thought, who slept so soundly as Theodora; I learned to sleep very lightly, she told herself comfortingly, when I was listening for my mother.
