SHADOWS OF THE PAST—Beneath the fields of Sir Neville's estate lie the bones of ancient Roman soldiers...and much more recent remains that are a mystery to the scholars who dig and delve upon his lands. The unpleasant discovery leads Neville and Priscilla to think twice about their plan to celebrate the happiest day of their lives with their family and dearest friends in such a lonely place. Can the talk of a centuries-old curse upon the Hathaways possibly be true? An unquiet spirit is stirring up all kinds of trouble, and timid Aunt Cordelia begs Priscilla to leave with the children and never return. But Priscilla vows to remain by Neville's side, come what may. No mere ghost could be stronger than their love...though this one is beginning to sound all too real...
