A Pair of Hands by Arthur Quiller-Couch

A Pair of Hands [by Arthur Quiller-Couch]

More than causing goose pimples, this tender tale tugs at the heartstrings with its touching description of the antics of the "most harmless ghost in the world." The pair of hands that show up in the house rented by Miss Poulton belong to a girl Margaret, who had died of diptheria at the tender age of seven. Ever since, her little hands appear every now and then to dust and clean the house with an almost obsessive desire to keep it free of infection. So unobtrusive and gentle is the dead girl’s presence that hers is the friendliest ghost. As Miss Poulton says of this sweet spirit: she "smoothed my pillow, touched and made my table comely, in summers lifted the heads of the flowers as I passed" The short story 'A Pair of Hands' by Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863 - 1944) was first published in 1898.
