But as he is leaving he meets Miss Townsend who warns him that the place has a curse on it. Later, Michael meets Ellie, a rich American Girl, and they fall in love and get married. Ellie will build Michael’s house on Gipsy’s Acre, but Greta, her companion and teacher , has to live with them. Michael agrees. As they all move into the new house, Michael has a sense of foreboding about the warning from Mrs. Townsend. Later, Micheal tires of having Greta hanging around and demands she leave, which is upsetting to Ellie. When Michael is at work, he receives a call – Ellie has been found dead! Was it an accident or murder or the cure of Gipsy’s Acre?
