Description

In a damp October afternoon, Madge Brodie is holed up in her modest cottage, laboriously transcribing manuscripts that seem destined for neglect. The quiet of the house is broken only by the ticking clock and the occasional rattle of the front door, setting a mood that feels both ordinary and oddly expectant.

When a nervous young man in a blue serge bursts in, he asks for a music lesson—something Madge has never offered to a gentleman. His uneasy demeanor, the way he clutches the latch, and his strange insistence on the name “Ossington” hint at a hidden story that the cottage walls have long kept quiet.

As Madge wrestles with propriety and curiosity, the encounter pulls her into a series of uncanny events that blend the mundane with the supernatural. Listeners are invited to follow her tentative steps into a mystery where music, memory, and an unseen presence begin to intertwine.
