Summary "Cecilia de Noël" by Lanoe Falconer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a hauntingly atmospheric setting, where characters grapple with the tension between rationality and the supernatural. Key figures include Sir George Atherley and his wife, Lady Atherley, who face unexplained noises and the possibility of ghosts in their manor, while the story also hints at deeper personal struggles among the characters, particularly Mr. Lyndsay, who is confronted by memories of a broken engagement. The opening of the novel introduces us to a group gathered in the drawing-room of Atherley’s manor, where philosophical discussions about science and the existence of the supernatural take place. Atherley, a strong advocate for rationalism, clashes with the unsettling appearance of peculiar noises from the servants' wing, prompting speculation about a ghost. Lady Atherley’s concerns about a servant's hysteria over the ghost adds a layer of tension, reflecting the personal and social anxieties of life in an old manor. Mr. Lyndsay, who carries the weight of a lost love, serves as a contrasting figure, grappling with his own emotional turmoil amid the unfolding mystery, foreshadowing deeper explorations of belief, companionship, and inner conflict.
