Anyhow, this is an awful spooky place. If I stayed here alone half an hour, I'd fancy that the Lord Chancellor up there would step down in his robes, out of his frame, to keep me company." "Nonsense! When I'm busy, I often sit here and write until after midnight. It's so quiet!" "D mnably so!" "Well, to go back to the papers. Somebody stole your bag, or you lost it. YOU stole "

Betty went first, and Bobby, stumbling, would have fallen if she had not caught her. "Gracious! I'm a little bit scared, aren't you?" Bobby whispered. "It seems like such a spooky place." It was certainly very quiet in the shop, and for a few moments Betty thought they must be alone.
"Trunks, yes, but not cobwebs," smiled her mother, "for Aunt Beatrice was an excellent housekeeper when she was at home." "Then the attic wasn't spooky?" queried Chet, disappointed. "I should say it was!" returned his mother, with an emphasis that set all his fears at rest.
