Gilligan's voice calling to them from the connecting doorway. "Do you expect to sleep all day?" she was asking them, her face rosy and herself very nice and trim in a light blue house dress. "This is the third time I've spoken to you, and I was beginning to get worried." "Wh-what time is it?" demanded Laura sleepily. "About eleven," Mrs. Gilligan answered calmly, and they gasped.
"Allow me to say that you are more exquisitely beautiful than any of the television stars I've ever seen or heard of!" said the robotic man. "And believe you me, I have run more Miss America beauty pageants than you can shake a stick at. You are lovelier than any of those girls. You are more innocently ravishing than Ginger Grant on Gilligan's Island! You are the epitome of human grace and style!
"We'll all go and rout that old ghost. He's got to," she added with a hysterical giggle that matched Laura's, "get off my piano!" Fearfully the girls watched her start into Mrs. Gilligan's room. Then Laura pushed down the covers and got to her feet. "If Billie isn't afraid," she said stoutly, "I don't see why I should be. Are you coming, Vi?"
Gilligan as her torch lighted up a wonderful old-fashioned richly carved candelabrum containing a dozen candles, half burned and looking rather wilted. "It's candles we'll be burning while we're here." The girls groaned. "But they give such a ghostly, flickering light," protested Violet, as if it were in some way Mrs. Gilligan's fault.
Come on now," she added, holding her candle high over her head again, "let's see what we can find in the way of bedrooms." "Let's go in the first door we reach," suggested Billie, and at the moment Mrs. Gilligan's candle showed a wide, high doorway leading into a black cavern of a room. "Well, here's the first one," she said. "If we have luck and find some bedding "
"Yes, I have, Mrs. Gilligan. Sit down, won't you please? It may take some time to persuade you " And then and there began another campaign. However, with Mrs. Jordon as a powerful ally the girls had little trouble in overcoming Mrs. Gilligan's objections, and in the end came off with colors flying. "Now to see Billie's mother!" cried Laura. The girls hugged Mrs.
"Yes, she's the funniest thing you ever saw," Laura answered, her eyes beginning to twinkle at the memory of some of Mrs. Gilligan's escapades. "Why, one April Fool's Day she set the clock back an hour and Mr. Gilligan got up grumbling that it was awfully dark for six o'clock. Then when he was all ready and was starting out to work she told him about it."
"Well, we haven't," said Billie. "All we've done is to hear things " "But we've heard plenty," sighed Violet. "There! What's that?" The girls listened, feeling almost ready to scream, but could hear nothing but the sighing of the wind in the tree tops. "Only the wind, silly," said Laura, then added with an almost comfortable feeling at the thought: "Mrs. Gilligan's on guard anyway."
"Gracious! did anybody think to bring matches?" asked Laura in an awed whisper. "Sure and I did," Mrs. Gilligan's matter-of-fact voice reassured her. "Five whole boxes I brought. But I've got something even better than that for the present occasion." She drew from the pocket of her coat a small electric torch and flashed it into the interior of the house.
