Synopsis
<i>Wikipedia:</i> The first-person narrator, Miss Randolph, is employed as Mrs. Maradick's nurse by her husband Doctor Maradick. Miss Randolph comes to see Mrs. Maradick as a victim and not as a patient suffering from hallucinations, as Doctor Maradick insists. The ghost of Mrs. Maradick's daughter, Dorothea, haunts the story and the reader is left to determine if Dorothea's well-placed jumping rope resulted in Doctor Maradick's accidental death.
