People throw the word classic about a lot, but A Drowned Maidens Hair genuinely deserves to become one. - Wall Street JournalMaud Flynn is known at the orphanage for her impertinence, so when the charming Miss Hyacinth and her sister choose Maud to take home with them, the girl is as baffled as anyone. It seems the sisters need Maud to help stage elaborate seances for bereaved, wealthy patrons. As Maud is drawn deeper into the deception, playing her role as a secret child, she is torn between her need to please and her growing conscience - until a shocking betrayal makes clear just how heartless her so-called guardians are. Filled with tantalizing details of turn-of-the-century spiritualism and page-turning suspense, this lively historical novel features a winning heroine whom readers will not soon forget. Review It was not until the Misses Hawthorne boarded the train that Maud was able to open her book. She had ridden in a train once before, when she left St. Annes Childrens Home for the Barbary Asylum, and she was glad of it, because it allowed her to assume the nonchalance of a world traveler. She sat down primly, back straight.You mustnt read in the train, said Judith Hawthorne. Youll be sick.Maud was sure she would not be sick. She opened her mouth to argue and then remembered that she had made up her mind to be perfectly good. She shut her book, folded her hands on top of it, and answered, No, maam.Miss Hyacinth has something to say to you, continued Judith, and Maud, getting the hang of it, piped up, Yes, maam.The two sisters looked at each other. After a moment, Hyacinth gave a little laugh. Maudy, do you remember what you said earlier today - about how you would do whatever we asked of you?Maud had once slapped a little girl who tried to nickname her Maudy. She replied, Yes, maam. I remember. I meant it, too, she added generously.Good. Hyacinth hesitated for a moment. Do you like secrets, Maud?Maud thought about it. I like to know secrets, she said at last, but I dont like secrets that arent mine.Apparently this was not the answer Hyacinth had expected. She changed the subject. Do you remember what I told you in the bookstore? That you wouldnt be going to school right away?Yes, maam.Are you sorry for that? Do you mind very much?No, maam.Thats good. Hyacinth lowered her voice mysteriously. You see, Maud, Judith and I have a secret. If you were to go to school, that secret might come out. In a little while, once we are sure of you, we will tell you everything, but first we have to make sure we can trust you. Later on, well ask you to help us with our work.Maud wrinkled her nose at that word work. Then she rallied. After all, even if she had to empty chamber pots, or peel potatoes, there would be fewer chamber pots and fewer potatoes than were required for sixty-three little girls. Ill help you, she promised. At the Asylum . . . well, sometimes I didnt do exactly what I was supposed to, but that was because Miss Kitteridge was so mean.Hyacinth seemed to follow her thoughts. I dont mean that kind of work. You wont have many chores to do, because we have a hired girl. Our work is different. It isnt hard, but its secret. And - just at first - you, too, must be a secret. Youre going to be our secret child.Mauds forehead puckered with bewilderment.Our secret child, repeated Hyacinth. Doesnt it sound nice? During the first few weeks of being our little girl, no ones going to know about you. You wont go to school. You wont lack for exercise, because we have a lovely garden, with a high wall round it - but when callers come to the house, youll go upstairs, to the third floor and stay hidden. It will be like a game of hide-and-seek. Do you understand?Maud cast a sidelong glance at Judith, whose face was serious, almost grim. I understand the part about hiding, she ventured. I mean, I can stay h
