IN THE THIRTEETH TALE, WHO WAS THE GHOST GIRL ?

In the Ghost in the Tale, Miss Winter tells Margaret how a child was abandoned in the garden, left to fend for herself. John-the-dig became aware of the child first because of missing strawberries on the plants in the garden and then when he found evidence of a break-in to the garden shed. John-the-dig left a trap for the thief and discovered a child who was burning up with fever. John-the-dig took the child into the house and he and the Missus cleaned it up, discovering a redheaded little girl under all the dirt who was clearly the child of Charlie Angelfield, perhaps the product of a rape. John-the-dig decided that the child should be allowed to live in the house but that it would be in everyone's best interest if no one knew. Miss Winter stayed, an unnamed child who lived like a ghost.
