Why, that's nothin', Miss Atalanty, to what I'd do for you." "Then that's why she was so awful skeerd and frightened! Just jumpin' outer her skin with horror. I reckoned it was a b'ar or panther or a spook! You ought to have waited till she got accustomed to your looks."
Perhaps you'd better see to the decoration yourself although I must say I always thought your taste was perfectly damnable. By-the-way, there's a ghost in this house. It's supposed to be the ghost of Lord Thingamabob, and I believe it is. I saw it myself three nights ago, and it was as drunk as a fiddler. My God, Quinny, it's a terrible thing to see an intoxicated spook.
"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.
Grandfather was a small man with a big head and quite pronounced Irish features. He was a dreamer. He was not a good provider; Grandmother did most of the providing. He wore a military coat with brass buttons, and red-top boots. He believed in spooks and witches, and used to tell us spook stories till our hair would stand on end. He was an expert trout fisherman.
That last man had a spur in his head, moreover, and is driving his cattle, at this moment, more like a spook than like a humane and rational being, I dare say he asked if we owned Albany and the river." Guert's allusion to his horses occasioned a general laugh; and laughter is little favourable to cool reflection.
T-Take the wheel, will you, S-Spike?" He and I went below, and brought up some things to eat. We were well out in the Bay now, Rogers's Island was only a dim blue spot astern. We ate luncheon, and discussed where we should go. I was trying to make them see that it would be safe enough to sail over to Lanesport, when Spook paused, with a banana raised toward his mouth.
Outside, the skeleton crept through the snow toward the edge of the village, followed by all the men, and in a short time every one of them was dead and the skeleton had vanished. Some of the villagers had been absent when the spook came, and when they returned they found dead people lying all about on the cold ground.
Trent, from the chair into which she had sunk, as if weakened by the series of startling events which had befallen her home. "Even so, mother, dear, he couldn't match old Pedro. Antonio sat forward, so, with a careless sort of slouch just like the 'spook' had." "What could possibly be his motive for such foolishness, daughter, granting you are right?" The captain laughed.
"What did he do?" asked Baby Van Rensselaer. "Well, he couldn't do anything. He waited awhile, hoping they would get tired; but he got tired out first. You see, it comes natural to a spook to sleep in the daytime, but a man wants to sleep nights, and they wouldn't let him sleep nights.
One never knows whether a hypnotic subject even such a perfect one as this will obey a supplementary suggestion. Had it failed, had she started back toward the ladder, I should have turned on the lights and seized the spook in the vulgar manner, and Mrs. Markham would have had the thousand excuses which a professional medium can give in such circumstances.
