The Bell in the Fog

Ralph Orth inherits enough money to buy an estate called Chillingsworth in the English countryside of Hertfordshire. Orth becomes fascinated with two paintings in a gallery at Chillingsworth: portraits of a boy and a small girl, about six years old. Discovering they were the Viscount Tancred and the Lady Blanche Mortlake, he writes their relative, Lord Teignmouth, who says both children died young.
