Donat will be a fine feast for you to-night. 'M. Donat called it a jest, I wrote at the time in my diary. 'It seemed to me more in the nature of a terrified conjuration, as though she would divert the ghost's attention from herself. A cannibal race may well have cannibal phantoms. The guesses of the traveller appear foredoomed to be erroneous; yet in these I was precisely right.
Was there ever a girl in creation who dried a ghost's dripping hair? The whole thing was too silly. In accordance with Mrs Maclure's promise, a great many fresh girls had arrived, and the full number of seventy was now nearly made up. It would be quite made up by the end of the following week.
And then at last, on the evening of the third day, Henry, who was half beside himself with suspense, heard, with wild thankfulness, once more the little step in the passage it seemed fainter, he thought, and dragged a little, and the knock at the door was like a ghost's.
But she, the giglot wanton, did not break a bedvow. Two deeds are rank in that ghost's mind: a broken vow and the dullbrained yokel on whom her favour has declined, deceased husband's brother. Sweet Ann, I take it, was hot in the blood. Once a wooer, twice a wooer. Stephen turned boldly in his chair. The burden of proof is with you not with me, he said frowning.

Once gay and animated beyond the power of any one to describe, it had become a ghost's face, with the glare of some awful resolve upon it." I give this letter just as it was written-disjointed paragraphs, broken sentences, unfinished words and all. The breaks show where she laid down her pen, possibly for that wild pacing of the floor which left such unmistakable signs behind it.
"Have you no heart?" she asked suddenly. "No, I am dead," he answered, in his clear, lifeless voice, that might have been a ghost's. The words made her shiver, and she felt as though her hair were moving.
"If you insist upon making your appearance here," said the tenant, who had had time to collect his presence of mind during this prosy statement of the ghost's, "I shall give up possession with the greatest pleasure; but I should like to ask you one question, if you will allow me."
