"Are you waiting to see uncle Rolf?" she said, with teeth chattering. "You mustn't stay out here," said he earnestly "you're like nothing but a spook this minute I'd rather see one, or a hull army of 'em. Go in, go in!" "Tell me if you want to see him, Seth." "No I don't I told you I didn't." "Then why are you waiting for him?"
Swords were then drawn, glasses clinked, the Representatives were thrown out at the windows, the imperial mantle fell upon the shoulders of Bonaparte, until the next morning again drove away the spook, and astonished Paris learned, from not very reserved Vestals and indiscreet Paladins, the danger it had once more escaped.
"I'll stand for most any kind of a dark seance, but this particular spook business is getting on my nerves. Are you there, Darrow?" "Yes, I'm here," answered the scientist. "Well, can you explain that phenomenon?" "That," drawled Darrow, a slight note of laughter in his voice, "was that extraordinary upheaval of natural forces known as Brother McCarthy going away from here hastily."
The news soon spread over the countryside that my jewel-hunter was bringing a live "spook" along with him, considerable curiosity mixed with an awe all to my advantage characterising the people we met thereafter.
All of a suddent Buck he jumps up an' makes a dash an' a leap at the spook, an' there's a terrible yellin' an' they both comes down crash at the foot of a rock pile, rollin' on the little pebbles; but Buck is on top an' the spook underneath an' lettin' off the most awful screeches.
You see, I suppose he is compelled to regain his circle, or Purgatory, or Styx, whatever you like to call it, via consciousness. No one present, then no revenant or spook, or astral body, or hallucination: what's in a name? And of course even an hallucination is mind-stuff, and on its own, as it were.
"Those were the very words Eliphalet Duncan used," said Uncle Larry; "but he did not need to wait for the answer. All at once he recalled the traditions about the domiciliary ghost, and he knew that what the titular ghost said was the fact. He had never thought of the sex of a spook, but there was no doubt whatever that the house ghost was a woman.
The stories concerning the movements of the alleged spook were, of course, not given any credence at first, but later, when several reputable citizens of Hardin announced that they had positively seen an uncanny looking object moving about on the island at night, the rumors were more seriously considered. Now, after investigation, the mysterious something is no longer considered a myth.
"I wonder if Boswell was there?" I ventured, interrupting 5010 in his extraordinary narrative for an instant. "Yes, he was there," returned the prisoner. "I met him later in the evening; but he isn't the spook he might be. He never had much spirit anyhow, and when he died he had to leave his nose behind him, and that settled him." "Of course," I answered.
He wondered also whether the ghosts could not be overcome with strong drink a dissipated spook, a spook with delirium tremens, might be committed to the inebriate asylum. But none of these things seemed feasible." "What did he do?" interrupted Dear Jones. "The learned counsel will please speak to the point."
