"The Last of Mrs. DeBrugh" by H. Sivia is a short story that falls within the genre of supernatural fiction, likely written in the late 1930s. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, death, and the mysterious connections between characters, particularly focusing on the relationship between the loyal maid, Letty, and the deceased Mr. DeBrugh, alongside the domineering figure of Mrs. DeBrugh. The story unfolds in the household of Mr. DeBrugh, whose death becomes the catalyst for a series of events that reveal the true nature of those left behind. Letty, who has served the DeBrugh family faithfully for many years, mourns Mr. DeBrugh’s passing while bracing herself for the further torment expected from his widow, Mrs. DeBrugh. As Mrs. DeBrugh's oppressive behavior intensifies, Letty contemplates leaving but clings to the promise made to her by Mr. DeBrugh regarding her future. However, after Mrs. DeBrugh unexpectedly dies, Letty discovers not only the legal reassurance of her future but also the lingering presence of Mr. DeBrugh in an eerie and affirming moment, solidifying her place in their household. The story reveals deeper themes of duty, the supernatural, and the enduring effects of promises made in life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
