Carrying on with Celia at the wine farm.
Being
marketing minded, Celia promoted the idea of Paulina’s ghost being around,
telling clients at the tasting that if they drank enough wine they might be
able to see Paulina. While people laughed, the idea stuck and became legend but
backlashed at harvest time.
In
those days it was fashionable to harvest at midnight and the pickers felt the
clammy hand of a ghost in every breath of breeze and heard the rustle of a
spectre’s dress in each flutter of the leaves. Celia spent a good deal of time
reassuring nervous wide eyed pickers that they were not about to be snatched
into another world.
