He raised his head, but his eyes were misty, and, seeing nothing, he leaned his head on his arm again. Suddenly he felt something near him. He swung round swiftly, and saw Vanne Castine's bear not fifteen-feet away from him! It raised itself on its hind legs, its red eyes rolling, and started towards him.
"Rest easy, you shall learn everything. You know that the house at the back of Rose Cottage has been deserted for something like twenty years more or less." "Yes. You told me about it the other night." "Caranby ran a fifteen-feet wall round it and the inside is a regular jungle. Well, the house is supposed to be haunted. Lights have been seen moving about and strange noises have been heard."

But I expect when Mr. Mallow comes in for the title he'll pull it down and build 'ouses. I'm sure he ought to: it's a shame seeing land wasted like that." "Where is Lord Caranby now?"
That unfinished house would make an admirable factory, and the presence of the ghosts would be accounted for if a gang of coiners was discovered there.

I wonder if Miss Loach, living near the place, learned that a gang was there.
