Ghost Train
Mrs. Lattie Birkenhead, the Widow of Birch Copse
It was a fine May morning in Yorkshire. The sky was cloudless and birds could be chirping from the manicured shrubs planted in front of the Birkenhead household. While it was a beautiful day, it should be noted it was a strange day. There was not any rain. It was also strange because this fine morning of May twenty-eighth, Lionel Birkenhead was found dead in a hotel bed in Italy. Conversely, Mrs. Lattie Birkenhead was asleep in Birch Copse, their Yorkshire home.
