Yes, Lulie's Jethro's daughter and he just bows down and worships her." "I see. I see. And is ah Miss Hallett as spookily inclined as her parent?" "Hey?" "Is she a Spiritualist, too?" "No, no. Course she don't say much on her pa's account, but Zach says she don't take no stock in it. Lulie has to be pretty careful, 'cause ever since Cap'n Jethro found out about Nelse he Hey? Yes'm, I'm a-comin'."
"Downlight foolardy," echoed little Fay. "And what nelse?" According to Mr. Burgess it was dangerous and a great many other things as well, but he lost his heart to her in that moment, and she could twist him round her little finger ever after. To be told that a thing was dangerous was to add to its attractions. She was absolutely without fear, and could climb like a kitten.
"Dey's cur'ous goin's-on in dat house, suh! De young lady she ain' like herself; all de day long she wanduh up an' down an' roun' about. Miz Tanberry are a mighty guessifying woman, an' de minute I tell her what Nelse see, she s'pec' you a-comin' an' dat de boss mos' pintedly preparin' fo' it!" "Can you make it a little clearer for me, Mamie? I'm afraid I don't understand."
Incidentally he decided that it might be the part of wisdom not to say anything to Nell about this extra thousand.

He had himself shut up in a cupboard at night, and made his wife pull down the curtains of her limousine when she went driving. And now he was insisting that he must have a talk with the man who had discovered this plot against him. McGivney hated to take the risk of having Peter become acquainted with anybody, but Nelse Ackerman was a man whose word was law.
"To be sure, if the thing don't work, we'll have plenty of feed without it, indeed," Barney conceded. Nelse Jensen, Signa's gloomy suitor, had his word. "Lou, he says he wouldn't have no silo on his place if you'd give it to him. He says the feed outen it gives the stock the bloat.

In "Ghosts," Ibsen preaches a terrible sermon on the responsibility of one generation for the next, but not all his relentless logic can move you to the sharp throb of horrified sympathy you feel as you see Nelse Pettingrew's poor mother run down the street, her shawl flung hastily over her head, framing a face of despairing resolve, such as can never look at you out of the pages of a book.
