Even so, for all its ingenuities of plot, the story?s central issue, or question, can be baldly expressed: Is the governess mad?? The New Yorker It is Christmas Eve. A group of friends gathers by a roaring fire in an old country house, when one of their party promises a tale that: ?Nobody but me, till now, has ever heard. It?s quite too horrible.?
