In this section of the book, all of the guests of Hill House are looking at the house to familiarize themselves more with it. Eleanor and Theodora are becoming closer with each other and everyone in the house looks like good friends now. While looking at the house Dr. Montague told them more about the history of the house. He said that the house was originally owned by a family but they started having trouble with each other and then the dad and mom died. Then one of the sisters was tired of her life so she went to the tower of the house and hanged herself one night. After all that happened the house became someone else's responsibility. In this section of the book there was also the first encounter with a paranormal activity. Dr. Montague and Luke were eating breakfast and they left the doors open so Theodora and Eleanor could find their way. However as soon as they were near the kitchen door closed by itself.
Qu
ote: "For myself, i would probably have anchored the rope onto the deer head in the game room, but I suppose she had some sentimental attachment to the tower; what a nice word 'attachment' is in that context, don't you think?" (Jackson 104).Response: Theodora was the one to say this quote and she said it after hearing how the girl "tied the rope onto the iron railing and then just stepped-" (Jackson 104).
