The Shadow by E. Nesbit

3.5

I liked this short story. The housekeeper Miss Eastwich is invited to tell a ghost story to girls at the house. She tells them a tale of when she was summoned to stay with two old friends who married one another. First off, isn’t it chilling when you’re in a trio and then basically chopped out of the triangle when the other two start a relationship? The story she tells leaves so many unasked, and thus unanswered questions, that I wanted to shoo away the girls and nestle in and hear all the details from Miss Eastwich herself. As it was, I felt too much was left to interpretation.
