Clint Jervies drives home through a torrential rain with a chased girl in tow then seeks guidance from Inspector Tope and Miss Moss. He now runs the Jervies estate comprising three shuttered looming houses on Kenesaw Hill. The Harder family, Aunt Evie Taine, Uncle Justus and brothers Rab and Asa occupy the first two houses while Matthew Bowden and his wife share the third. Saturday night the families gather at the Harder home as Kitty, June’s mother, retires early with a headache.
