TIME TRAVEL ITINERARY (SPOILERS!)

1. From Hiram White’s house in a small Georgia town , circa 1960 ⋙ to the same house, during the Civil War. Round trip. Note: I believe that Hiram definitely traveled back in time because the house no longer has electric lights.
2. From the same house back when Miss Belle Herbert lived there, during the Civil War ⋙ to the mid-20th century. Note: The story doesn’t fully how Miss Belle somehow became Dr. Murdee’s niece, Donna Murdee, in the 20th century, but it does imply that she is indeed the same young lady.
