An elderly lady taking lodgings in London for a fillip becomes fascinated by the shut-up house opposite, where she glimpses an eye at the window. Her servant Trottle investigates, and the tales of three of its former tenants follow, told by Elizabeth Gaskell, Dickens and Adelaide Procter, framed and resolved by Dickens and Wilkie Collins.
