Haunting begins. Names in chalk, then blood. sounds in the night. Psychodrama being played out with Eleanor and Theodora. Ghost family picnicking at night on lawn. Flowers turn to weeds; family disappears. Writing is great, but I don't see that this is headed anywhere--other than a good thrill read. I'm hoping for more from Shirley Jackson.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
