I found the story about the girls not believing that Mrs Bentley was also once a little girl, sad. But I really enjoyed the old man as Time Machine as he relayed his stories to the boys.

"There were a million small towns like this all over the world. Each as dark, as lonely, each as removed, as full of shuddering and wonder. Oh, the vast swelling loneliness of them. The secret damp ravines of them. Life was a horror lived in them at night, when at all sides sanity, marriage, children, happiness, were threatened by an ogre called Death."
