"For a few moments I stood amazed and bewildered...Then, even as I looked, I saw the dog falter and slow down and finally stop and I realized in horror that she was floundering in mud, fighting to maintain her balance from the pull beneath her feet."

This shows tension because there is a build up of where Arthur is stood there, until he comes to his senses and sees Spider drowning in the marshes, and rushes to help her.

Settings are evocative of death. For example the church and the graveyard are where people go to have funerals. Eel Marsh House is where people have died, hence the hauntings. They demonstrate gothic conventions and macabre ideas.

"Nine Lives Causeway"

Nine Lives suggests you only have nine lives and that you will die some day for good. This links to religious ideologies because in some religions they believe in reincarnation and that you have multiple lives. It also could link because the Nine Lives Causeway could be separating a safe heaven (Crythin Gifford) from a dangerous hell (Eel Marsh House). As you travel along it, you are going from one to the other. Also, it could link to the supernatural, because stereotypically, cats have nine lives, and witches have cats for pets.

"She was what people called a ghost."
"Her skin was stretched."
"...wasted face."
"Dressed in deepest black."
"...a bonnet type hat that shaded her face."

These suggest she isn't normal and she tries to hide her face, which could link to how she hides from society. She doesn't look like a healthy woman, she is very ill looking and this suggests she isn't a normal human.

"Cradling Spider in my arms like a child."

This suggests Arthur cares about Spider and looks after her. He is acting like a mother to Spider, even though he isn't her owner.

"But he is mine, mine, he can never be yours. Oh forgive me. I think my heart will break."

This suggests Jennet had to give away her child, but she will never stop loving him. She gave it to her sister, but she is angry and won' let her claim him as her own. She seems so upset that her child was taken away, which could lead to all the events she was involved in.

"Shrill neighing and whinnying of a horse in panic."

Suggested something has happened to spook the horse and it scares Arthur. It could be the wind playing tricks on him, or due to his mental state whilst staying at the house, he could just be hearing things, however it did scare Arthur.

"Mr Jerome was frozen pale, his lips tinged with blue."

This suggests he knows who the woman is, and as he reacted badly, he has had previous experiences with her.

"They asked for my story. I have told it. Enough."

This implies Arthur doesn't ever want to think or talk about it again. This could be because it scared and scarred him so much, he is still experiencing fear and his mental state might not be stable.
