Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Julie Harris

My fav'rie Julie Harris role -
Nell in The Haunting, '63.
Haunted house spirits take a toll,
Wanting the sad lived Nell to be
Forever a part of the house.
The rest of the ghosthunter team
Regard Nell as a frightened mouse.
The house holds Nell in high esteem,
And so the living, Nell ignore,
And feel her self drawn to the dead.
The spirits of the spirits soar.
The team leaves. Nell remains instead.

The cast and crew thought Julie weird.
To Nell's character she adhered.
