An alternate-time V/C novel. After, in the Continued Classic present, V/C watch a movie about lovers (Somewhere in Time) who meet despite living in different eras, they have a dream: the balance of the book. In it, in the late 1800s, Catherine Chandler, having broken off her engagement to Tom Gunther, travels to discover her upstate New York estate, Grafton, inherited from her spinster aunt. The estate has a secret: some creature to whom locals ascribe a couple of deaths of malefactors. And Catherine makes two startling discoveries: the identity of the creature, and the fact that the estate is almost bankrupt. Her financial straits cause significant problems. Elliot Burch appears as a neighbor, Jacob Wells as a local doctor. John Pater is alluded to, and Mouse and other figures we know have appropriate parts. [1]
