(1) 4-6 Maud achieves an orphan's dream when pretty Hyacinth Hawthorne brings her home. The discovery that the maiden Hawthorne sisters expect Maud to live as a "secret child" and help them with sham séances does nothing to dampen Maud's devotion to her charismatic guardian. Schlitz realizes both characters and setting (an early twentieth-century seaside town) with unerring facility, ending on a hard-won but triumphant note.
