There, in the gloom, a large, old man in a luxurious cloak and hat was standing, gathered up in the murk just a few feet behind him. Before he can reply, Vanderhausen turns around and -- with "quick but silent steps" -- disappears.
The enigmatic Vanderhausen seems to have caught a glimpse of her at the cathedral in Rotterdam and has fallen in love.

He is offering a staggering sum of gold for her hand -- an amount which he has brought with him in a moldy, worm-eaten chest. Vanderhausen refuses: "not one hour. This is a big selling point and Douw is convinced of his merit as a provider for Rose something Schalken could never hope to be. For six thousand rijks dollars, Douw signs a contract and hands Rose over the grim stranger. Schalken is brokenhearted: he wishes he could speak up for Rose, but his financial insecurity unmans him into submissive silence.
The three are sitting at a table when Vanderhausen enters and are immediately horrorstruck: his bulging, unblinking eyes are fixed in a sightless stare — saucer-like and muddy white. Douw notes that his chest does not rise and that his motions are stiff and unnatural "as if the limbs were guided and directed by a spirit unused to the management of bodily machinery" , and his expression is violently insane, as Le Fanu gravely notes: "The character of the face was malignant, even satanic, to the last degree; and, indeed, such a combination of horror could hardly be accounted for, except by supposing the corpse of some atrocious malefactor, which had long hung blackening upon the gibbet, to have at length become the habitation of a demon—the frightful sport of Satanic possession.
All three are certain that he cannot be a living man, and after a half hour of near silence during which he never blinks or breathes , the old man bids them good evening.

They drive off in a carriage bound for Rotterdam, but just before arrives at the city, it is stopped by a party of strange men in old-fashioned clothes carrying a litter. The bridal couple leave the carriage and enter the litter which the odd-looking servants carry off into the dark. Inside the coachmen find a sack of gold for their troubles.
Rose is not seen again for months. The two console one another their shared loss, and are doing so one dark night when the door bursts open and Rose stands before them — in the flesh.
Laura Silver Bell
She is wearing a strange white robe reminiscent of a burial shroud , and is pathetically haggard and worn. When given food, she ravenously wolfs it down like a starving dog, tearing at the meat with her bony hands, and sloppily gulping down wine. As they wait for the minister, Schalken escorts his beloved to a bedroom where he hopes she will rest. She is frightened of the deep shadows, however, sensing Vanderhausen in the oppressive gloom which only worsens when the candle blows out.
Rose begs for more light and not to be left alone.

Schalken ignores half of the request by stepping out to get a lamp, and the door slams shut behind him. By the time Schalken can force the door open, he finds the room empty, the window open, and rings of water spreading in the canal below, as if some ponderous weight had been dropped into it Years later Schalken is a successful maestro of the brush with money and fame but no love in his life. Overcome by melancholy, he falls asleep, but is awoken by a light tap on his shoulder. Looking up, he sees Rose — dressed in a white robe and veil, holding an antique lamp which illuminates her mischievous smile , and beckoning him to follow her.
Flashing him a twisted smile, Rose pulls the curtain back and stares at the bed where Vanderhausen sits — unblinking, unbreathing, bolt upright — waiting for her. Schalken faints at the sight and awakens the next morning in a stone vault with a large, black coffin front and center.
For the rest of his life, motifs of love, money, lust, and lechery would dominate his paintings — often through the symbolism of a girl gazing through candlelight with a mischievous smirk and knowing eyes…. The question that most people appear to have wanted answered about this enigmatic story is one about definitions and purposes: who or what exactly IS Vanderhausen, and why does he abduct Rose, and what is her ultimate, literal fate?
Before we get far into our anaylsis of this story, I believe that this basic mystery merits a serious consideration. Whether possessed corpse, vampire, ghost, walking statue, or — as it certainly could be!

Rose is not so much a damsel in distress as she is a woman thrown to the wolves by inept, weak-willed men. This vision alone would underscore her position as one who suffers living-death in eternal worship to a spirit who chose her as his devotee — as a vestal concubine to his personal religion.
But Rose wants Schalken to understand it explicitly, so she lures him deeper and deeper down with that coquettish, twisted grin is it sexual or sinister or both? To quote Dr.
