Rebecca Flint crosses the river to Ford Village to fetch her dead sister’s child and finds a rose-bush stirring when no wind blows. In the companion tales a shadow falls on a wall where none should be, a languid widow drains the life of all around her, and a boarding-house room resists every lodger. These are tightly observed New England households where the supernatural intrudes on thrift and propriety.
