I have now read 55 pages in the book
One morning Bella and Ellen heard a bang and went out to see what it was. They were just in time to see the Smyth family leave, without paying their bill. Family Smyth was also guests at Bon Vista, but they had made an early start to avoid paying their bill. Mrs Bailey thought that there name wasn’t Smyth and the address they had given wasn’t correct.
The disappearance of the Smyths had left a room free in Bon Vista and Mrs Bailey didn´t want to spend one more night in the draughty back house, so she moved in the empty room. Ellen and Bella had the whole back house for them self. They wanted to paint it inside to make it homier.
One night Ellen had a dream. In the dream she was still in the house, but it was like she was someone else. It was like if she wanted to do something, but she couldn´t. Somehow it was like she was drawn to the empty chair by the fireside, where a short-bladed knife was laying.
In the afternoon, after Ellen’s dream, when she was sitting in the grass outside the backhouse and listening to how lovely the birds sang, she suddenly noticed that the birds had stopped singing. When she looked around she saw a man standing by the door to the back house. The man had white hair, his shoulders dropped and he wore a leather jerkin. And he was looking at her. Then her head seemed to spin and she heard the birds singing again. When she looked around it was no one there. Once again she had had that feeling as though she was someone else.
That day they also swept the chimney in the back house, so they could use the fireside. At night when Ellen and Bella were going to bed, Ellen went to draw the curtains at the windows downstairs. And when she turned from the window, the light of the candle glistened on something in the fireside. When she went to look what it was, she saw that it was a very old pistol. Bella came down and saw the pistol and they decided that it must have fallen down when the chimney was swept, but they didn´t understand why anyone would hide a pistol in the chimney.
When they went to bed again, Ellen couldn’t sleep so she took her writing things and sat by the window. She started to write, but she had no ideas of what she would write. She held the pen between her fingers when the pen suddenly twitched and then started to write… She could feel how her hand was moving with it… but she was not directing it! Then the pen just stopped writing, and she looked at the paper where it was writtenMy name is…This is what I think of the book:
Now it has began to really happen things in the book, and I look forward to read more of it. The author writes in a interesting way because there is always something going on in the history and I think that is god. It makes you don’t lose interest in the book. And I didn´t want to stop reading to write this text.
As I wrote last week it happens things to Ellen, and I still think it will be worse. I think that it maybe lived a girl in the house before that got killed, and that girl wants someone to know about it. Maybe the girl was killed with the pistol they found.
Ellen is a very curious person, and has she once got an idea she have to tray it. I think that the author wanted a curious person as main character. The history needs someone who is not afraid of testing things, and who is curious about strange things that happen around.
