Beschreibung:
A house built on stolen ground, cursed by the man hanged for witchcraft to make the theft legal, and inhabited two centuries later by an impoverished spinster who must open a cent-shop in the front room. Hawthorne descended from a judge at the Salem trials and wrote this within a year of The Scarlet Letter, in the one happy stretch of his life. The curse works slowly, through property law.
