Good one Trisha - nicely done. These prompts seem to be bringing out ghosts in old buildings and sad stories :(

I liked your use of the word PELF - as in money, especially when gained in a dishonest or dishonourable way. That was a good pick up and different.

Your use of the prompts was excellent

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Well written indeed, Trish! I like the use of the word "pelf" also - so long since I've seen it, I had forgotten its meaning!

Cheers, Shelley

Thanks Val & Shelley. The word "pelf" almost sounds like something quite sinister!

Intriguing, Trish..."curiouser and curiouser", as Alice would have said. Who was the mysterious Eloise, and what happened to her?

Can't reveal too much, for therein lies the mystery and intrigue! :lol:
