About this story
You play Rachel Innes, who declines to leave. Twenty-three chapters of a house with too many doors, a nephew and a niece who both lie about where they were, a bank that has failed, and a maid who is certain about ghosts and wrong about everything else.
Who you’ll meet
Liddy Allen at the stair foot, Gertrude Innes on the landing.
