pretty bedstead. She had a beautiful old rocking horse, which had been in the family longer than anyone could remember, and adoll’s house that Aunt Violet said had been given to her as a child.
    â€˜What a lovely room,’ Araminta said.
    â€˜This used to be Aunt Violet’s bedroom when she was a little girl,’ Clementine explained.
    Teddy climbed up on the rocking horse and Araminta and Tilda explored the doll’s house. After a few minutes, Clementine offered to show them the rest of the house.
    The group followed Clementine back into the corridor, where she pointed out the bedrooms belonging to Uncle Digby, her mother and Aunt Violet.
    Araminta looked towards a little door at the end of the hall. ‘What’s through there?’ she asked.
    â€˜The stairs to the attic,’ said Clementine.
    â€˜The attic?’ Teddy’s face lit up. ‘What’s up there?’
    â€˜Lots of stuff. Do you want to see it?’
    â€˜Yes, please,’ the twins chorused.
    Clementine opened the door and walked into a small corridor with a staircase. She flicked on the light.
    Araminta hung back a bit. ‘Is it dark?’
    â€˜No.’ Clementine shook her head. ‘But there’s lots of junk.’
    Teddy looked at Tilda and winked. ‘I don’t know. It looks pretty dark to me. And spooky. Don’t you think, Mintie?’
    Araminta frowned.
    â€˜Don’t look so scared, Mintie. If there are any ghosts Teddy and I will protect you.’ Tilda grabbed hold of her big sister’s hand.
    Araminta didn’t want to believe in ghosts, but if they were ever going to see one, surely it would be in the attic of a grand old house like this. She hated that her little brother and sister were so much braver than she was.
    Clemmie led the way. ‘Wow!’ she exclaimed. ‘I can’t see sunlight through the slates any more.’
    But her visitors weren’t remotely interested in the newly repaired roof.
    They reached the top and Clementine flicked on another light switch.
    The three visitors couldn’t believe all of thethings that were jammed into the enormous space.
    â€˜Look at this.’ Teddy ran over to a large dome, which contained a stuffed pheasant.
    One side of the room was taken up by a row of old wardrobes.
    â€˜What’s in those?’ Araminta asked hesitantly.
    â€˜Dress-ups,’ Clementine said. She guessed what was troubling the older girl. ‘No ghosts.’
    Clementine opened the closest wardrobe and pulled out a long ball gown. It was pink and had faded flowers around the neckline.
    Araminta and the twins gasped as they realised that the whole wardrobe was crammed with clothes, and so was the next one and the one after that.
    â€˜That one there has hats,’ Clementine said and scurried over to open it. She pulled out a black bonnet and popped it on her head.
    â€˜That’s so cute,’ Tilda giggled.
    As well as the wardrobes, there was all manner of furniture, knick-knacks and household items.
    â€˜Look at this vacuum!’ Teddy exclaimed. He picked up the handle. ‘It looks like a spaceship.’
    â€˜What about this?’ Tilda had pushed her way further into the room and located a gigantic globe of the world on a timber stand.
    â€˜There’s a better one in the library,’ Clementine said.
    All of a sudden Araminta squealed.
    â€˜What’s the matter?’ Clementine called.
    â€˜Did you find a ghost?’ her little brother teased.
    Araminta hesitated. ‘There’s … there’s a … creature …’
    Clementine knew at once what the girl was looking at. ‘No, that’s just Theodore. He won’t hurt you.’
    â€˜Are you sure?’ Araminta squeaked. ‘He looks real to me.’
    Clementine closed the wardrobe door and hurried over to the girl. Tilda and Teddy followed her.
    â€˜Wow,’ Teddy laughed.
    â€˜Hello Theo,’ Clementine
