A cruel remark beside the lake
Golden lives in the ruined western wing of Glenalvan Hall with her white-haired grandfather Hugh and old Dinah. Her uncle John and his family hold the good rooms.
One afternoon her cousins Elinor and Clare laugh at her wish to attend their party. Clare snaps that the worst thing Golden ever did was to be born.
Then Golden hears her uncle say it would have been best if she had died long ago. Her grandfather comforts her and asks her to hide in three upstairs rooms that people call haunted. She loves him too well to refuse.
