"The Last Tenant" by B. L. Farjeon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with Edward and his wife, Maria, engaged in the frustrating endeavor of house hunting, a task that hints at deeper mysteries to unfold. Edward, a content man set in his ways, grapples with his wife's growing ambition for a new home, which opens the door to unsettling experiences connected to their potential new residence. The opening of the novel introduces us to Edward's internal conflict and his wife's dissatisfaction with their current home. As they venture into the house at 79 Lamb's Terrace, they are initially met with eerie silence accompanied by a sense of foreboding. Maria is determined to explore the neglected house despite Edward's trepidation. Their exploration takes a turn when Edward inexplicably rings a bell, leading to unearthly sounds and the unexpected appearance of a spectral girl and a skeleton cat, which leaves them both in fear and bewilderment. The mysterious happenings set the stage for a blend of humor and supernatural intrigue that promises to captivate readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
