That night I was in the sitting-room alone. A glass door leads out to an open porch. Conscious of a presence, I looked up to find two penetrating eyes fixed on me. It made me creepy and cold, yet I was amused. I sat long and late, but a quiet shadow near the door told me I was not alone. Even when in bed I could hear soft steps under my window.
"I generally like to come down and listen to them once in a while," said Morgan, "but somehow, I didn't care to stay there to-night, that story of Billy's made me feel sort of creepy; I'm feeling a little off to-night, anyway."
"Ugh, what a fright that thing gave me," exclaimed Peggy with a shudder that she could not control. "Nasty looking beast, and that cry of his isn't beautiful," commented Roy in as easy a tone as he could assume. "Alverado told me that those desert ravens were inhabited by the souls of those who had lost their way and perished on the alkali," shivered Peggy. "Say, sis, don't be creepy.
"We can walk around them, Jesse, if we don't want to run them," said Rob, reassuringly. "Of course it's rather creepy going into heavy water that you don't know anything about I don't like that myself. But just think how much worse it must have been for Sir Alexander and his men, who were coming up this river, and on the high water at that.
Some of my readers may be able to remember the "Stalactite Caverns" which used to form one of the attractions at the Colosseum. It was there that I first studied the words of Juliet. To me the gloomy horror of the place was a perfect godsend! Here I could cultivate a creepy, eerie sensation, and get into a fitting frame of mind for the potion scene.
"But I marvel why you feared him thus. I found him a right decent fellow, I can assure you." "Then I can assure you solemnly, madam," answered Millicent, with a look to match her words, "that is more than I did. Never can I forget the horrid moment when I thought that nasty black creature went about to take me by the hand. It made me feel creepy all over faugh! I cannot find words to tell you!"
We started off finally on foot through streets silent as the grave not a person, not a lamp, not so much as a barking dog, as queer and as creepy as some made-up thing in a theatre. Once we stumbled past a naked and dismembered trunk set up beside a doorway a physician's manikin that chance or some sinister clown had left there.
Hal pressed close to Chester. "Rather creepy out here," he said. "Right," returned Chester in a whisper. "I've the same feeling myself. It forebodes, trouble, this silence, to my way of thinking. The Huns are probably hatching up some devilment." "Well, we may be able to get the drift of it, with that thing you have under your arm," was the other's reply.
By its light the children saw that the walls were green, and that trickles of water ran down them and dripped from the roof. There were things on the floor that looked like newts, and in the dark corners creepy, shiny things moved sluggishly, uneasily, horribly. Robert's heart sank right into those really reliable boots of his.
"Can't you find anything to say to me, Bessie dear?" "Plenty; but you must wait for it to come. I was just thinking for you putting myself in your place, and trying to feel as you do." "Well!" "I was getting very low down when you spoke; it was quite creepy among the shadows. 'So this is how Hatty feels, I said to myself, and did not like it at all." "You would not like to be me, Bessie."
