Oh. That was a lovely idea and well executed. Slightly scary vibe at the end there though. Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed it.

What a wonderful story! Your tone was fabulous, breezy and light, yet cutting to the heart of the matter. You put the Estate under a miscroscope and look at it for the organsim that it is.

Particularly effective is the use of the children's voices. You've turned this into a fairy tale, a myth, with the children as the truth sayers and it works beautifully

Very, very nice. I look forward to reading more of work in this fandom.

Yes, this is a wonderful fandom, both to read in and write in - I love it!

Children can sometimes see things others might miss, but also they aren't quite as prone to allowing their prejudices to cloud their vision.

Thank you!

Oh, that's lovely. I'm a big fan of stories outside POVs on canon events, so this was exactly what I love. Telling it through the children's eyes was ingenious, because no-one else has the insight that children do, and I loved the little bits of adult gossip and their own little ponderings that were thrown in their. The way there is... this myth in the ordinary. Very clever, and the end is so sad.

Also Mrs Jameson and her old school refs owns my soul.

Yeah, Mrs. Jameson knows a thing or two. Sadly no one really realises - though she is a little crazy too.

Outside point of view can be interesting because you never really know what other people see and what they make their motives out to be.

Thank you!

I know! I never meant the ending to be that sad, it just sort wrote itself that way. I feel sorry for the poor TARDIS, but I like your comparison of a haunted house - that it very perfect!

Thanks!
