Also beldames of incalculable antiquity, a regular allowance of one to each boarding-house, who flit noiselessly and unceasingly about the passages and up and down the stairways, admonishing you of their presence by a ghostly sniffle, which always frightens you, and prevents you from running into them and knocking them down.
