"Mother, I do not know whether that ghostly figure was a real man, after all!" whispered Salome, in an awe-stricken tone. "My good child, what do you mean?" inquired the abbess, uneasily. "Mother, I feel as if I were haunted!" said Salome, with a shudder. "Come! your nerves have been overtasked. You must have a composing draught, and go to bed," said the superior, decisively.
