Description

Georgina Huntingdon grows up in a weather‑worn house on the edge of the sea, watched over by the stern yet affectionate Mrs. Triplett and the frail but diligent old Jeremy. One winter morning, while she sits in her high‑chair eating bread and milk, Jeremy’s sudden, violent sneeze sends his dentures flying into the fire, an image that terrifies the infant Georgina. The shocking tableau of teeth clanking in the flames leaves an indelible mark on her young mind.

The incident becomes a quiet undercurrent in Georgina’s life, feeding a lingering unease about the fragility of the body and the mysteries hidden in everyday moments. As she grows, the sea‑swept world around her offers both comfort and curiosity, inviting her to explore the vivid colors and stories that swirl like rainbows in her imagination. Listeners will follow her gentle journey of discovery, watching how a child’s early fear can transform into quiet courage and wonder.
