Mrs Ghost
Constable Brian Felton is feeling very pleased with himself when he is left in charge of the police station in a small Australian town. Things are quiet until he finds an elderly woman scavenging in the bins behind the grocery store. He has been instructed to take things easy on the locals but the woman is acting very strangely. When she spits on him he takes her back to the station. She refuses to talk to him in anything but French, so he enlists the help of the school teacher Sarah, as interpreter. They discover the woman’s name is Mary and it becomes obvious to them that someone has done something terrible to her and possibly long ago.
In the morning Mary wakes and has returned to her normal self. Brian confesses he doesn’t have the right to hold her but Sarah convinces Mary to stay and tell them her story. Mary explains it is not really about her, but of the resistance leader who was known as the Ghost.
For Mary it is as if the years melt away and she is once more back in Occupied France. The Mayor of their little village has welcomed the Germans but it is a welcoming that doesn’t last.
