Yet so appalled and alarmed was I by the weirdness of this sudden apparition, looming up, as it were, all by itself in the depths of my consciousness, that I hardly dared bring myself to think of trying to recall any other scenes of that dead and past existence.
But the firm step, the fearless, hopeful face with which she had approached the coffin of her dead lover were very different from the blind manner in which she stumbled back to his bier, and the hand which a second time raised the lantern trembled so that its wavering light shed an added weirdness on the still face, so strange to her eyes, and stranger still to her heart.
The silence, the weirdness, stopped his tongue besides, what was the good of crying out? Whatever was to happen would happen at once. He struck a light, and held it up. As he did so some one or something rushed at him. What a fool he had been the light had revealed his position! But at the same moment came the instinct to throw himself to one side; which he did as the rush came.
Fancy what it might have been, this long exposition of sheer Schopenhauerism in three dramas and a fore-play! imagine what Parry or Stanford or Mackenzie would have made of it!

His mute anxiety added to the weirdness of the proceedings, and Graeme experienced a novel creeping about the nape of the neck. Ghosts or no ghosts, however, it had to be looked into. He picked up a heavy boot, turned the key, and flung open the door. Punch went down the stairs in two long bounds, and a rush of cold air put out the candle.
The eye beamed fitfully upon them, occasionally a wave of lambent tremulousness passed across it; its weirdness was an excuse for their drawing nearer each other in playful terror. "Flip." "Well?" "What did the other two want? To see you, TOO?" "Likely," said Flip, without the least trace of coquetry. "There's been a lot of strangers yer, off and on." "Perhaps you'd like to go back and see them?"
