An Irish under-nurse in a Melbourne house discovers the housekeeper's plots to marry her employer, widowed by his wife's suicide. A ghost in the nursery is eventually unmasked but too late to prevent Mrs Inchkeith's revenge on the sleeping children. Suggestions of sexual improprieties confusingly alluded to. (PB)
