Question

For the fifth day in succession I set out on the wearisome search for a house. My husband

had been very ill and the doctor was insistent that we must give up living in the town. It was

essential for him to breathe the pure air of the country, if he was to get strong again. So I was

feverishly house hunting of course. I had seen innumerable houses, but there was something wrong

with all of them. Some were too large, some too small. Some were too large, some too small. Some

were surrounded by too much land and some had so little garden that it was practically non-

existent, some would never have been repaired since they were built; roof – tiles were missing, walls

and ceilings were cracked. Woodwork was rotting, paint peeling. It would require a fortune to make

them habitable. Some were so ugly that one outside that I made attempt to penetrate to the

interior. I was sure that one house was haunted, could feel a ghostly presence following me fromroom to room and feel the swish of skirts that I could not see. I have never heard too many tales of

the tricks that spirit occupants of houses can get up to, If they are attacked by the living owners. It

would be uncomfortable to be on bad terms with a companion who was alive, but intolerable with a

dead one.

The morning of the fifth day brought no better result and I was so disappointed that I nearly

give up looking at anything more that week. However, something impelled me to go on after lunch, and I found exactly what I wanted.
