The Master of Penrose (Originally titled: Here Comes a Candle) by Jane Aiken Hodge
published by Dell Books
Copyright 1967

position was that of companion to little
Sarah, the disturbed daughter of Jona-
than Penrose. But the Master of Pen-
rose was alwasy near, his powerful
figure throwing her emotions into des-
perate turmoil - until she was held as
if spellbound, while the icy fingers of a
secret guilt reached out to claim her as
a victim ...
