They at once found the retreat a perfect windbreak, and became comfortable all hugging together "like a nestful of owlets," Helen said, and all declared themselves as "warm as toast." But the wind howled mournfully through the wood, and the snow sifted down with a strange, mysterious "hush hush hus-s-sh" that made them feel creepy.
She had always before been afraid of the night-dark and imagined creepy steps coming along the hall and into the door. The things she imagined now were dreadfuler than that. This new dark was so much darker! They thought she was asleep and let her lie there on her little bed alone. By-and-by would be time enough to probe gently for the childish trouble.
So we set up a long time, and smoked and talked in a low voice, and felt pretty dull and down-hearted. We talked the murder and the ghost over and over again, and got so creepy and crawly we couldn't get sleepy nohow and noway.
The Princess is not for you you'll only break your heart and ruin your family over her! That's my advice. Chuck her!" "But I cannot," said McFeckless humbly. "Think of her weirdly beautiful eyes." "I see," said the doctor meditatively; "sort of makes you feel creepy? Kind of all-overishness, eh? That's like her. But whom have we here?"
There are, however, pictures less realistic and more imaginative one or two of them, in the language of the fireside, quite "creepy." Here is a house a neat, trim little house and for the English reader there is of course a garden or a field round it, and a wood beyond.
YOU will see that at last I decided to move over to this hotel. I made a great mistake in not coming before and getting away from the cross old housekeeper at the International, who could not be induced by entreaties, fees, or threats, to get the creepy, crawly things out of my room. How I wish that every one of them would march over to her some fine night and keep her awake as they have kept me.
"Why, we had quite an adventure this morning," said Patsy, laughing again at the recollection, and answering her uncle because Beth hesitated to. "For my part, I think it was fun, and harmless fun, at that; but Beth was scared out of a year's growth. I admit feeling a little creepy at the time, myself; but it was all a joke and really we ought not to mind it at all."
"So had I," she said, "like small electric shocks; and I believed in the ghost and everything. I expect that is why that kind of supernatural business is kept up, because it makes people feel creepy and nice. You can't get the same sensation in any other way, and I dare say there are lots of people who wouldn't like to lose a whole set of sensations.
"Didn't you say they never came back to Horse Shoe Bay. Perhaps I had it from aunty. But I know it's damp and creepy; and when I was littler I used to be frightened to be alone there practicing." "Why?" said the preacher quickly. "Oh, I don't know," hurried on Cissy, with a vague impression that she had said too much. "Only my fancy, I guess."
"But then, ghosts can be made very creepy, with tantalizing glimpses of them now and then in about every other chapter, and mysterious hints here and there, and characters coming down to breakfast with white, drawn faces and haggard eyes. And the wicked one would look over his shoulder and then utter a sardonic laugh.
