Diana crawled up and got her back against the headboard of the bed. When your companion of twilight hour said such spooky things it was just as well not to be able to fancy there was anything behind you. "I'm afraid the Improvement Society will go down when you and Gilbert are both gone," she remarked dolefully.
She stepped quickly to her father's side and once more laid her hand on his arm. 'What is it? he asked, his voice sharpening at her sudden grip. 'It's it's spooky out here, she said. He scoffed. 'That's a silly word. In a natural world there is no place for the supernatural. He grew testy. 'Can I ever teach you, Helen, not to employ words utterly meaningless? But Helen was not to be shaken.
Gordon was resting from the sullen, muffled knocking of his hammer when a figure suddenly blotted out the light, hid the sky. He recognized the sharply-cut silhouette of the school-teacher. "What a horrid, spooky place," she spoke with a shiver, peering within. "It's cool," Gordon told her indifferently.
Crane remarked to Mrs. Farnshaw as they rode home together: "I declare, Lizzie's th' coolest hand I ever met. She couldn't 'a' liked Mr. Noland very much. She wasn't near as broke up as Mr. Hunter was, an' when I asked her if she wouldn't feel kind of spooky in that house after such a thing, she just looked at me, funny-like, an' says 'Why? an' didn't seem t' care a bit."
"It's a very queer name." "Oh, they come by it naturally enough," her mother answered. "It is surrounded by a grove of cherry trees and is near a crossing of two rocky roads. So you see the reason for 'Cherry Corners." "Goodness, that sounds as if it were away off in the wilderness!" cried Billie, adding: "But wouldn't it be awful to have to live in that spooky old house all alone?
I succeeded after some trouble, came to this room, turned on the light a spooky thing; an empty house, picked up a book, had quite forgotten my position, the world, everything, when a voice at my elbow said: 'Fond of reading? I was never more surprised in my life. I felt distinctly caught, an interloper. And to make matters worse, I saw that Holland did not at once recognise me.
First Itu, and then the Creek, then back from Aro, where I had set my heart, to a lonely, spooky, wilderness. There no one ever went, but now miles of roads are being built. The Board says I am to go back to Akpap in April. I love no other place on earth so well.
Sally was to be Will-o'-the-Wisp, and a plump, spooky sprite she made with dabs of phosphorus upon her fluttering black cambric costume, and funny peaked cap, which glowed uncannily when the room was darkened. She carried a little electric bulb lantern which unexpectedly flashed its blinding rays into people's faces.
Spooky the Screech Owl, for that is who it was, came out of the hole in the tree and without a sound from his wings flew over and perched just above Peter's head. He was a little fellow, not over eight inches high, but there was no mistaking the family to which he belonged.
