"She always works in one of those rooms." I heard the laugh again. It did not sound like the laugh of a normal woman--it did not even sound human! "Grace!" called Mrs. Fairfax. One of the little black doors opened and a woman appeared. She looked too ordinary to be a ghost. "Grace, there is too much noise," said Mrs. Fairfax. "Remember what you have been told!" Grace said nothing; she only nodded her head and went back into the room. In the next few months,I sometimes went up to the top floor,where I could look out of the high windows and be alone with my thoughts. I was happy with my work,but I felt that something was missing from my life. I wanted interesting things to happen,I wanted more adventure! People are not always happy with a quiet life,and women need adventure,even if men do not believe it!
