'What do you want to be going' to Freak House for, miss?' asked the driver as he hauled my valise onto the rear of his wagon.
'Freak House?' I scrutinized his moustache for any signs of mirth, since I couldn't see the mouth beneath it. The unkempt shrubbery didn't so much as twitch. 'Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. My destination is Frakingham House. Please tell me this is the village of Harborough.' I looked back to the railway station. The handful of passengers who'd alighted the train alongside me had dispersed and the locomotive was long gone. Not even a wisp of steam remained in the cool air of dusk. Only the stationmaster remained on the platform, fob watch in hand. The sigh beside him confirmed that I hadn't made a mistake.
The wagon driver chuckled. 'Aye, this is Harborough and it's Frakingham House I'll be takin' you to, if that's where you wish to go.' He held out his hand to me. ' We local folk sometimes call it that. No harm meant, no harm done, eh?'

Charity Evans wants nothing more than to leave her troubled past behind and start afresh. The teacher at a London school for orphans is encouraged to have her memories blocked by hypnotist Samuel Gladstone, but when they experience visions with an unknown third person, they realize the past can never be truly erased.
Now her past is returning to haunt Charity all over again.
