The Eyes is a short story written by Edith Wharton. It tells the story of Mrs. Newell, a wealthy woman who is haunted by the eyes of a portrait in her home. The portrait is of her late husband's first wife, who died under mysterious circumstances. Mrs. Newell becomes convinced that the eyes in the portrait are watching her and begins to experience strange occurrences in the house. She seeks the help of a psychic, who reveals the shocking truth about the first wife's death and the identity of the eyes in the portrait. The story explores themes of jealousy, paranoia, and the supernatural.Phil, my dear boy, really -- what's the matter? Why don't you answer? Have you seen the eyes?' Frenham's face was still hidden, and from where I stood behind Culwin I saw the latter, as if under the rebuff of this unaccountable attitude, draw back slowly from his friend. As he did so, the light of the lamp on the table fell full on his congested face, and I caught its reflection in the mirror behind Frenham's head.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
