Helbeck of Bannisdale
Authorship not stated
You are Laura Fountain, arriving in the rain at Bannisdale Hall with your ailing stepmother, Augustina, to stay with her brother Alan Helbeck, the Catholic relation your father would not speak to for thirteen years. A housekeeper's dinner hour, a locked tower, and prayers you have declined to attend test how much religion and grief one evening can hold. By the time the house goes quiet, you tell Alan more than you mean to, and learn less than you wish about the quarrel that shaped your father's life.
