There was something eerie about the dancing, pirouetting columns of vapor. They looked like a party of ghosts dancing a quadrille. They twisted and contorted and bowed and soared upward and sank again in a kind of rhythm. "Gracious, this is a spooky sort of place," thought Jack. "I wonder what causes those wavering columns?
"I said that two were dressed just like me and two were gray," replied Spooky rather sharply. "That's funny," Peter exclaimed. "What's funny?" snapped Spooky rather crossly. "Why that all four were not dressed alike," said Peter. "There's nothing funny about it," retorted Spooky, and snapped his bill sharply with a little cracking sound.

My heart was wrung with her, the image of a little woman with no place, no heart to go to, all her dreams of girlhood turned to ghosts, fit only to run from.
