While I was there all was still.
Then I went into my room again, and left the door open, as I thought Miss Lacy would feel more comfortable about it, and I was hardly in my bed when she called again and screamed out with fear, for It was hopping round the bed.

She said I must go down-stairs and bring a candle.

So I had to go down-stairs to the pantry all alone and get the candle.

Then I searched as before, but found nothing--not a thing.

Well, my dear, I went into my room and kept my candle lighted this time.
