Which book starts?

[Diane1954]

The story had held us,round the fire,sufficiently breathless,but except for the obvious remark that it was gruesome,as,on Christmas Eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be,I remember no comment uttered till somebody happened to say that it was the only case he had met in which such a visitation had fallen on a child.
