by Bill Kitson
Less than a week after the service at St Mary’s, Eve and I returned to Dene Cottage from our morning stroll, a habit we had begun to enjoy. A car was parked in the lane by our house. Not just any car, but a huge, gleaming Rolls-Royce. I was still wondering if this was someone who was lost, or if not, why they might be at our house, when the driver’s door opened. As the driver stepped carefully out of the vehicle, Eve recognized him. She introduced me, before asking the visitor what had brought him to Laithbrigg.
‘I came to see you,’ he told us, glancing from Eve to me. ‘I needed to see you both; to ask you a favour. I know it might be a bit presumptuous, especially after what you’ve just gone through, but I wanted to ask you to find someone for me. I want you to find a dead man.’
But that’s another story…
END
Postscript
Although several years have passed since the children’s bodies were discovered, to my knowledge, the apparitions have not been seen again. Perhaps those poor little innocents really are at peace now.
