"It does not get us anywhere," he agreed; "but it gets me out of the difficulty very nicely." "I know a good ghost story myself," said Nevius. "It is a dandy. It will make your blood run cold. Once there was a " "I do not believe in telling ghost stories," said Miss Landbury.
"Oh, I suppose funny things happen. I know that. But what's the use of laughing when we are all half dead?" "I'm not. Not within a mile of it. You brag about yourself if you like, but count me out." "Hello, Preacher! How are you making it to-day?" They all turned to the window, greeting warmly the man who stood outside, leaning heavily on two canes. "Miss Tucker, won't you meet Mr. Nevius?"
He struggled for breath, and fought to tear away the dimpled arms. The music of Glory's voice rose into unspeakable tumult, the warm pressure of Precious' arms rendered him powerless. He fell insensible, and two days later they found him, dead." There was a brief eloquent silence when Nevius finished his story. The girls shivered. "A true story?" queried David, smiling.
Nevius was ready to admit this latter doctrine in cases of idiocy, insanity, epilepsy, and hysteria; but then, said he, these are not what I call possession. The Chinese have names for all these maladies, 'which they ascribe to physical causes, but for possession they have a different name. He expected Dr.
Nevius jerked a note-book from his pocket and made a hurried notation. "Taking notes for a sermon?" asked Carol. "No, for a sickness. That's where I'll get 'em next.

Nevius, that isn't nice," protested Miss Landbury. "Lover said urgent business called him out of town. He would go to Precious. Glory was getting freakish, queer. Precious never had visions. She was not notionate. She just loved him and was content. So he went to her.
Duke, do you think it is religious to talk about ghosts? Doesn't it say something in the Bible about avoiding such things, and fighting shy of spirits and soothsayers and things like that?" "Yes, it does," agreed Nevius, before David could speak. "That's why I want to tell this story. I think it is my Christian duty. You will sure fight shy of ghosts after you hear this.
Oh, women can't. They aren't broad-minded enough. It takes a man, his heart can hold them all." The girls sniffed, but Nevius would not be side-tracked from his story. "Well, this man loved them both, and they were both worth loving young, and fair, and wealthy. He loved them distractedly.
