They will be vacant next week." "I don't think 'tis about the drawing-rooms, 'em," answered Anne as demurely as she could speak. "I 'avent put no card hup yet.

The Ursulines had bought the house in which they lived much below its normal value, for it was regarded as a haunted house by all the town.
