Plot
When John Woolfolk's wife dies in an accident, he vows not to open himself to future emotional harm. With a shipmate, Paul Halvard, he begins sailing around the world, coming to anchor near an isolated, dilapidated mansion on the Southern coast, inhabited by a young woman, Nellie Stope, and her grandfather, Litchfield, who lives in fearful seclusion after his experiences in the Civil War. The one other inhabitant is a brutish "servant," Iscah Nicholas, who terrorizes the other two and is later revealed to be an escaped convict and "homicidal maniac."
