Echoes in the Darkness
“The missing girl was called Nellie Smith and she worked as a lady’s maid in the house of a wealthy landowner whose home was situated half a mile from Port Isaac. She had every Wednesday afternoon off, and her routine during that time never varied. She walked into the town to visit her family. Her mother was a widow and Nellie was the oldest of six children. Mother and daughter would spend the afternoon shopping and baking, and Nellie would set off for her employer’s house again after they had e...aten their evening meal together. Both Nellie’s mother and her employer were adamant. You could set your clock by her.
But Nellie had not arrived at her mother’s house on this particular Wednesday afternoon. After waiting an hour, Mrs Smith had gathered up the younger members of her brood and marched up to the smart mansion where Nellie worked.
“She’ll have met her friends on the way and gone off with them,” the housekeeper said soothingly, when it emerged that Nellie had set out as usual.MoreLess
