The Mysteries of Udolpho Volume 4, Chapter 8 Summary

  • The Count de Villeforte's been looking into Em's claim to her late aunt's properties, and he's got good news. Kind of.
  • Orsino was executed for murdering the nobleman, while Montoni died in a mysterious manner. There are some whispers that someone finally got him with poison.
  • Since there's no more dispute over the property, it's looking good that Em will get to stake her claim.
  • But the Count can't solve all his problems that easily. Servants are gossiping even more since Ludovico disappeared.
  • Obvious solution: the Count himself will stay overnight in the haunted room with his only son, Henri. Really, it's a flawless plan.
  • The guys settle in for a root-tootin' night full of scary ghosts and mayhem.
