I've slept in that haunted room upstairs for a solid year. I've gazed night after night over the haunted rampart.

But you, you're a-walkin' right smack dab into it, weth your eyes open, teachin' fer Gospel the inventions o' men." "W'y what, Uncle Billy?"

Especially as there were new guests present.
I'm kicking up a horrible row out there with my interference, and a lot of instruments at the other end of that beam must be cutting up all kinds of didoes, right now. They'll check up on that ship with the expedition, by radio and what-not, and when they find out that it's clear out here chop! Didn't get to see much, did you?"
"We can put somebody else in if he goes to cuttin' up too many didoes and capers."
