Captain Latimer R.N. was a widower who had two children - his son Digby and daughter Francesca. To look after them he employed a governess named Miss Montague. She was really Clara Oswald, who worked as a barmaid at the Rose and Crown pub. A previous governess had died in a freak accident - drowning in a pond at the front of Latimer's home. This woman had been greatly disliked by the children - especially Francesca. Latimer grew fond of Clara, but found it hard to express his feelings.
In the winter of 1892 Latimer was approached by Walter Simeon, head of the GI Institute, who demanded the contents of the frozen pond. A creature was growing within the ice which would be used as host for the alien Great Intelligence, which was manipulating Simeon.
The ice governess was the cause of Clara's death, but the grief of the Latimer family in turn destroyed the psychic power of the Intelligence.
