Bly
e were sitting by the fire telling ghost stories.
'Would you like to hear a ghost story about two
children?' Douglas asked. Tve never told it to anyone. It's
too horrible. It happened to my sister's governess a long
time ago.'
The woman, Douglas explained, was twenty when she left
home to look for work. She went to see a man who needed
a governess for his brother's two children. He was a
gentleman - rich, good-looking, and kind - with an expensive
house in London. The children, a boy and a girl, came to
live with him after their father died. But he had no wife or
children himself, so he sent them to live at Bly, his house in
the country, with his housekeeper, Mrs Grose. They also
had a governess there, at first, but then she died, so the boy
went away to school while the little girl stayed at Bly.
