"Who's the ghost, then, that haunts this place?" he asked, pausing at the edge of the ruined garden, his gaze fixed on the broken stone walls of the house that rose, three stories tall, to a blackened, collapsed roofline.

"Do you feel it?" she asked, looking not at the house but at the man beside her. "The chill?"

He nodded, his face oddly tight. She still wasn't convinced, herself, of the existence of such things as ghosts. But this place had always disturbed her, and she thought, studying the way his eyes narrowed, that it affected him, too. "So what happened here?" he asked.

There was an elm, near a broken fountain at the edge of the garden, that had escaped the fire. She went to stand with one gloved hand resting on the cool bark, her gaze on the blackened stones before them. Sometimes, when she breathed deeply, she thought she could still smell the smoke, still hear the crackle of the flames. "The house was built by a man named Grimes. Mathew Grimes. He was a widower who came here from Sydney with his only daughter, Claire." At the mention of the name, Jessie felt the chill in the air deepen, so that she shivered. "She was sixteen, and very lovely. Her father was supposedly devoted to her."
