“Is it haunted?” asked Nisa. Ainsley turned to her. “Haunted? No one has ever seen a ghost here, if that’s what you mean. I would say that it’s troubled, though Jez used to say it’s demented.” “‘Demented’?” Nisa started to giggle, then quickly covered her mouth at Ainsley’s expression. “Sorry! I never heard someone say that about a house. Maybe in a movie but not in real life.” “Is this real life?” Ainsley stared at each of us, so keenly I thought she must be joking.
