Summary "The Uninhabited House" by Mrs. J. H. Riddell is a novel written during the late 19th century, probably in the Victorian era. The story revolves around a peculiar residence that seems to bring trouble to its occupants and the tenants who encounter its mysteries. Central to the narrative are Miss Blake and her niece, Miss Helena Elmsdale, who are caught in the ongoing challenges associated with their property, amid a backdrop filled with themes of ghostly suspicions, financial woes, and family ties. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the enchanting yet troublesome Uninhabited House, which has left a lasting impression on the lawyer's office of Mr. Craven, where the narrative unfolds. The narrative is portrayed through the eyes of a clerk, who grapples with the eccentricities of Miss Blake, her financial difficulties, and her niece's situation. As tenants come and go, often citing strange occurrences, Mr. Craven’s firm struggles to address the complaints while managing Miss Blake’s expectations. The initial chapters explore the relationships between the characters, tackling themes of sympathy, financial obligation, and the persistence of the past, setting a vivid scene for the unfolding mysteries of the house.
