Suddenly there was an eager scramble, a cloud of dust, a swift impression of dim ghostlike figures. It was over. The crowd flowed into the street again. The two pressed together, hand in hand, on the top of the dry-goods box. They laughed at each other and everything.
The door moved slowly downward and a dash of freezing air came from the widening aperture at the top, blowing damp across her face. Staggering away from the ghostlike hole that seemed to grin fiendishly until it spread itself into a long, black gulf with eyes, a voice, and clammy hands, she grabbed up the still lighted lantern and cried aloud in a frenzy of fear.
How as your hint to Faber clearly revealed were you aware that, in yon house, where the sorrow is veiled, where the groan is suppressed, where the foot-tread falls ghostlike, there struggles now between life and death my heart's twin, my world's sunshine?
The faint throbbing of her engines as she glided out on the North River tide found its echo within me as I leaned on the heavy rail and watched the towers of the city receding in the mist; they became blurred and ghostlike, fantastic in the grey distance, sad, appealing with a strange beauty and power.
The Indian camp-fires flickered in the valley below, their slender, ghostlike columns of smoke, rising heavenward straight as the flight of a flock of cranes, floated away in a pale, blue white cloud on the evening. The soft, plaintive notes of the night-hawk and prairie-owl mingled with the prolonged cry of the wolf in the distant foothills.
This thought gave him pleasure for a while and he mumbled over it for an hour or two. Then he ate his evening meal and went to sleep.

Mary made a queer little sound, that was half a sob, half a laugh. "All right; I'll obey orders for once, you dear, wise old Jim. Make him come back to-night, though." She moved away, a slender ghostlike little figure in her white gown; and Jim laid a heavy, kindly hand on my shoulder. "Buck up, Maurice; come along to the dining-room and feed, and then tell me all about it."
According to the abbe, she spent a whole year in this dreadful pit, her trial having dragged on through that length of time. How ghostlike she must have looked when she came forth! Guido never painted that beautiful picture from her blanched face, as it appeared after this confinement. And how rejoiced she must have been to die at last, having already been in a sepulchre so long!
Royson?" it said, and he was called back from the unknown to find Miss Fenshawe standing near. "I beg your pardon," he stammered. "I was so taken up with this to me most entrancing experience " "That you did not hear my fairy footsteps," she broke in, with a quiet laugh. "Do not apologize for that. I am wearing list slippers, so my ghostlike approach is easily accounted for.
