However, his past catches up with him when he receives a series of threatening letters that seem to be linked to a crime he committed years ago. As the letters become more menacing and the judge's guilt begins to consume him, he starts to see ghosts and experience strange occurrences. With the help of a young lawyer, Harbottle sets out to uncover the truth behind the letters and the crime he committed. The novel is filled with suspense, intrigue, and supernatural elements that keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Le Fanu's writing style is gripping and atmospheric, making Mr. Justice Harbottle a must-read for fans of classic mystery and horror novels.The bloated and gouty old man, in his horror, considered the question of resistance. But his athletic days were long over. This moor was a desert. There was no help to be had. He was in the hands of strange servants, even if his recognition turned out to be delusion, and they were under the command of his captors. There was nothing for it but submission, for the present.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
