a a fairy tale b a mystery story c an action story

It was a dark and stormy moonlit night. Captain and Mrs Jenkins were driving in their horse-drawn carriage towards their remote, lonely home. The Captain’s face was hard and dark as he shouted at the horses to run faster and faster along the track through the bare trees. As the moon lit his wife’s pale face, you could see that she had once been a beautiful girl. Now it was the face of a woman who had seen too much unhappiness and had known too much fear.

Arabella thought back to happier days. It hadn’t always been like this. When they met and fell in love, the Captain had been the most handsome man in London and they had been the happiest young couple anyone knew. They had gone to dances and parties until, one terrible day in 1876, their world had fallen apart and they had left London and their families and friends for ever.

The horses stopped outside the door of Catby Hall. Their old servant, Holmes opened the door and said, ‘Good evening, Captain.’ He ignored Mrs Jenkins. Captain Jenkins didn’t return the servant’s greeting but ordered him to take the horses to the back of the house. Turning to Arabella, he said, ‘You must be tired after the journey. You should go to your room.’ His wife knew from experience this was an order, not a kind suggestion.

Arabella took a candle and walked along the gloomy hall past deserted, unfurnished rooms to the long dark staircase. She sighed as she remembered the charming home they had had in London – it had been so different, it had been filled with light and happiness, not darkness and misery. As she pushed open the heavy door to her room, she heard the call of an owl and the church bell in the village. Looking around in the dim light cast by the flickering candle, she saw a hideous face at the window. She gasped in terror and dropped the candle to the floor. The flame caught the corner of the curtain – within seconds the room was on fire.
