Ghosts of the Homestead Return in Silent Yearning

In autumn light, a seeker roams a ruined homestead, pondering whether the master and children still visit the old rooms. The verse by Fidelia W Gillette asks if familiar voices, laughter, and love endure in the night and twilight as memories linger among mossy beams and falling stone.

The Veiled Portrait and the Fate of a Soldier’s Love

In London a haunted veteran recounts a mutiny era tale. Sidney Warren hides a green baize portrait of a beautiful woman, later revealed as Constance, wife of a murdered officer. Constance endures desertion and ruin, journeys to India, finds her husband’s alias Milton, and confronts tragedy at Meerut as a burning revolt unfolds. A ghostly vision ties past and present, ending in the narrator’s death from shock or fate.
